Deep fried chicken wings are a crispy, flavorful favorite that are golden on the outside and juicy on the inside. They’re perfect as a party appetizer, game day snack, or indulgent treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats, separated, tips removed)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Vegetable oil, for deep frying
  • Optional sauces: buffalo, barbecue, honey garlic, teriyaki

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, toss wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne if using.
  3. Let the wings rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before frying.
  4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry wings in batches for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
  7. Serve plain, or toss in desired sauce while still hot. Serve with dipping sauces if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure wings are dry before frying for best crispiness.
  • Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the wings reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Double-fry for extra crispiness if desired.
