Recipe Summary Crispy Fried Chicken Wings

Super crispy delicious wings!

Ingredients | Crispy Fried Drumsticks

2 eggs

2 cups buttermilk

4 pounds chicken wings, split and tips discarded

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup crushed saltine crackers

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon ground dried thyme

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon garlic powder

4 cups peanut oil for frying

salt to taste

Directions

Beat the eggs and buttermilk together in a mixing bowl until smooth. Mix in the chicken wings, cover, and refrigerate 30 minutes. Combine the flour and crushed crackers with the pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Remove the chicken wings from the buttermilk marinade, and discard the remaining marinade. Allow the excess buttermilk to drip from the wings, then press into the bread crumbs to coat.

Cook in batches in the preheated deep-fryer until the breading is golden brown on the outside, and the chicken wings are no longer pink at the bone, about 10 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and season to taste with salt before serving.

The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the breading ingredients. The actual amount of the breading consumed will vary. We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

For buffalo wings, same procedure as above only immediately after removing from oil, place in large sealable container with wing sauce and shake to coat wings.
