Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) chicken wings
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (120 grams) cornstarch
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) buttermilk
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Ingredient:
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Thoroughly blot chicken wings with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crisp exterior during frying.
- Create a robust seasoning blend by mixing flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Submerge wings in buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then meticulously coat each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere completely.
- Ignite vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heating to precisely 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying temperature.
- Carefully lower wings into the sizzling oil in small batches, preventing overcrowding, and fry until achieving a golden-brown, crunchy exterior, approximately 8-10 minutes per batch.
- Extract wings using a slotted spoon, transferring to a paper towel-lined surface to eliminate excess oil and maintain crispiness.
- Craft a vibrant Bang Bang sauce by whisking mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and minced garlic until smooth and well-integrated.
- Generously coat the crispy wings in the zesty sauce, ensuring each piece is evenly and thoroughly glazed.
- Present immediately, with additional sauce on the side for enthusiastic dipping, and garnish as desired.
Notes
- Ensure chicken wings are completely dry before coating to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent oil splattering during frying.
- Use a digital thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature, which guarantees evenly cooked and perfectly crispy wings every time.
- For gluten-free option, replace wheat flour with almond flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Adjust spice levels in Bang Bang sauce by increasing or decreasing sriracha amount, allowing customization for different heat preferences.
