Ingredients
- 2 pounds (900g) chicken wings , cut whole wings into flats and drums
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- ⅔ cup (160ml) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
- 4 cups (946ml) cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Fill a deep skillet or Dutch oven with four cups of cooking oil and heat to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C.
- If using whole wings, separate the wings into flats and drums and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Combine 3 tablespoons flour, salt and spices in a medium bowl. Add the wings and toss until coated in the mixture.
- Combine the remaining flour with the baking powder in a separate bowl. Add the milk and beaten egg, combining until no lumps remain in the batter. The batter should be thick enough to drip slowly from a spoon. Add flour or milk as needed to adjust the consistency.
- Dip the wing pieces into the batter. Shake off any excess and drop the wings into the hot oil. Fry for 7-10 minutes, turning the wings halfway through the cooking time.
- Place the cooked wings onto a paper towel lined plate to remove the excess oil. Serve hot.
Notes
- Dry the chicken wings with paper towels to remove excess moisture before coating the wings in flour or batter.
- Season well and don’t skimp on the seasoning.
- Change the seasoning for your favorite blend.
- Preheat the oil to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C. This will ensure the wings have a crispy exterior and cook through evenly.
- Don’t overcrowd the cooking pot. Fry the wings in batches if necessary.
- Use a thermometer to help maintain a consistent oil temperature while frying. Adjust the heat as needed to keep the oil temperature stable.
- Turn the chicken wings halfway through cooking.
- Always check for doneness with a meat thermometer. The temperature should be 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.
- Drain off the excess grease by placing the deep fried wings on paper towels or a baking rack.
- Serve with your favorite sauces like blue cheese, ranch, barbecue, or honey mustard.
- Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 4 days.
