Ingredients
- 3 Lbs. Chicken wings
- 4 Cups buttermilk
- 1/2 Cup lard
- 1 Cup flour
- Master Spice Mix:
- * 1/2 cup cayenne
- * 6 Tbsp. Dried minced onion(or onion powder)
- * 6 Tbsp. Dried minced garlic (or garlic powder)
- * 6 Tbsp. Paprika
- * 4 Tbsp. Brown sugar
- * 2 Tbsp. Salt
- * 2 Tbsp. Black pepper
Directions
-
Mix all master spice mix ingredients and separate into three equal portions.
-
In a large bowl combine 1/3 master spice mix and four cups buttermilk, and three pounds chicken wings. Cover and chill for as long as possible (4 hours to overnight).
-
Rinse the brined wing pieces and pat dry.
-
Mix one cup of flour with another 1/3 of the master spice mix. Dredge the chicken wing pieces in the flour/spice mixture, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
-
Heat your oil to 325˚ F / 170˚ C.
-
Fry the wings for 8-10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165˚ F. The wings will splatter so its a good idea to have a lid nearby! Take the wings out and drain on a paper bag or paper towels.
-
Place 1/2 cup of lard in a saucepan and sprinkle over the last 1/3 of your master spice mix. Once the lard is melted and warm, stir the mixture, and take it off the heat. Immediately baste your fried wings with the lard/spice mix and serve right away!
