12 small chicken wings
¼ teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika
1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's®), or to taste
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Season chicken wings lightly with seasoned salt.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Wings: Select large, plump wings with a good amount of meat. Avoid wings that are too small or have a lot of feathers.
  • Pat Wings Dry: Before frying, pat the wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the wings crisp up and prevents them from splattering oil.
  • Season Liberally: Season the wings generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings. You can also use a pre-made wing seasoning blend.
  • Use a High-Quality Oil: Choose a high-quality oil with a high smoke point, such as canola oil, vegetable oil, or peanut oil.
  • Fry in Small Batches: Avoid overcrowding the fryer basket. Fry the wings in small batches to ensure they cook evenly and don't stick together.
  • Monitor the Temperature: Use a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. Maintain a constant temperature of 350°F (175°C) to ensure the wings cook evenly and don't burn.
  • Flip the Wings: Occasionally flip the wings during frying to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Drain on Paper Towels: After frying, transfer the wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sauces: Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can make delicious, crispy chicken wings in your deep fryer. Enjoy them as an appetizer, main course, or party snack. Experiment with different seasonings and sauces to find your favorite combination. With a little practice, you'll be a pro at making mouthwatering chicken wings that everyone will love.
