Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) flour
- 1 cup (240 ml) seasoned, fine bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 50 chicken wings, cut in 2 pieces
- Canola oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large, shallow bowl, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Heat canola oil in a high-sided stock pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Dredge the chicken wings, a few pieces at a time, in the flour mixture, making sure to shake off any excess flour.
- Carefully place the chicken wings in the hot oil, being cautious of splatters. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the wings from the oil and let them drain on a rack set over a baking sheet. This ensures a crispy crust all around.
- Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired, and serve warm with a side of blue cheese dip or cold straight from the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use a high-sided stock pot to minimize oil splatter.
- Cooling the chicken on a rack set over a baking sheet ensures a crispy crust.
- These wings are delicious served warm or cold.
- Consider pairing with cole slaw and mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
