Soul food fried chicken wings

Crispy fried chicken wings seasoned deeply and served hot, a soul food party favorite.

Party wings, golden crunch

Seasoned wings fried to a crisp, golden crackle — the platter that anchors every gathering.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Marinate the wings in the buttermilk with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and cayenne for at least 1 hour.
  2. Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with a pinch more of each spice.
  3. Drain the wings and dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess.
  4. Heat 1 inch of oil to 350°F.
  5. Fry the wings in batches 10-12 minutes, turning, until deep golden and cooked through. Drain and serve with ranch or hot sauce.

💡 Chef tips & storage

A double dredge (flour, buttermilk, flour) gives an extra-crunchy crust. Keep the oil hot between batches.
