Football is a big part of our Sundays during the NFL season! What says Football & Tailgaiting food more than Chicken Wings! This recipe is so simple in terms of ingredients yet it has been a go to for our crew for years!
Ingredients
- 2lbs Chicken Wings – Cut into drums and flats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (if making Gluten Free – Bob Red Mill’s All-purpose gluten free flour works very well)
- 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
- 1 Tablespoon freshly ground pepper or coarse ground pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Ted Reader Hot & Spicy Bonedust bbq rub (or Cayenne pepper)
- Oil for frying (canola or other)]
Instructions
- Place wings in a large ziplock bag.
- In a medium bowl combine flour, salt, pepper and Hot & Spicy Bonedust – mix to ensure things are well blended.
- Add dry ingredients to the wings, close the bag and toss to ensure wings are well coated.
- Place ziplock bag in fridge for 1 hour.
- After wings have refrigerated – Heat oil to 350F. This can be done by using 2-3” of oil heated over medium heat in a large deep pot but it’s preferable to use a deep fryer. If you are using the pot method, make sure you have a thermometer that will monitor the oil temperature as hot oil can be very dangerous if you do not.
- Working in batches (adding too many wings can drop the temp of your oil) – shake off excess flour mixture off of wings, gently add wings to the oil. Cook for 8-12 minutes until golden and crispy. Check internal temp of wings with instant read thermometer. If the wings are below the minimum safe internal temperature of 165 °F, submerge again in the hot oil.
- Keep warm in 170F oven in a metal bowl until all the wings are cooked.
- Drizzle your wings with your favourite sauce (BBQ or Hot), toss to coat evenly and enjoy!
