Chicken Wings

2 pounds chicken wings Use fresh, thawed wings for best results.

2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper Optional for those who like it spicy.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder

Frying

1/2 cup oil Enough to fill an inch of the pan.

Instructions

Preparation

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy texture.
If not already separated, use a knife or kitchen scissors to divide the flats from the drums.

Mixing Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the smoked paprika, dried parsley, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if desired.
Stir in the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder until well blended.

Coating the Chicken

Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Frying

Heat the oil in a deep fryer or deep pot to 350°F.
Carefully add wings in batches, frying for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy.

Draining

Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a spicy kick, toss wings in hot sauce after frying. Serve with a variety of dipping sauces for added flavor.
