The Best good fried chicken wings recipe
I have been making fried chicken wings for my family for years and this recipe is the one we keep coming back to. It gives you that perfect crispy coating without being greasy and the meat stays juicy and tender every time. My kids love when I make these for game day or just a weekend dinner and they always ask for more. The best part is you can adjust the seasoning to your taste and they come out great whether you like them spicy or mild. These wings are also a good source of protein and when you fry them right they are not too heavy. I started making this version because I wanted something that was simple to put together but still tasted like a real treat. It works for a quick meal or for feeding a crowd and it never lets me down.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Crispy Fried Chicken Wings
1. How do I get the chicken wings extra crispy?
The key is using a mix of flour and cornstarch in the coating. Cornstarch helps create a lighter, crispier crust. Also, letting the wings sit after coating before frying helps the coating adhere better.
2. Can I make these wings ahead of time?
Yes you can fry them a few hours ahead. Reheat them in a 400 degree F oven for about 10 minutes to bring back the crispiness. Do not reheat in the microwave as it will make them soggy.
3. What oil is best for frying chicken wings?
Use an oil with a high smoke point like peanut oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil. Peanut oil adds a nice flavor but any neutral oil works well.
4. How long should I marinate the wings?
At least 1 hour in the buttermilk mixture is good but overnight gives the best flavor and tenderness. Do not skip this step as it helps keep the meat juicy.
5. Can I bake these instead of frying?
Absolutely. Place the coated wings on a greased baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees F for about 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through. They will not be as crispy as fried but still delicious.
