Best 5 Fried Turkey Wings Recipes

SPICY SOUTHERN-FRIED TURKEY WINGS

Steps:

• In a large bowl toss the wings with 5 tablespoons of the Essence. Place in a large plastic freezer bag.
• Add the buttermilk and hot sauce and seal, forcing out as much air out as possible and turning to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Fill a large pot halfway with peanut oil, and heat to 360 degrees F. In a clean large freezer bag, combine the flour, the remaining 3 tablespoons Essence, and salt. Remove the turkey wings from the buttermilk, and transfer 2 at a time to the bag with the seasoned flour. Shake to coat and remove, shaking to remove any excess flour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place coated wings on a large wire rack set over a sheet tray and let rest, un-refrigerated, for 20 minutes. Add to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and season with Essence. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.

BUFFALO TURKEY WINGS

Steps:

• For the wings: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a cooling rack set into a baking sheet. Pat the wings with paper towels until they are very dry, then drizzle with some oil and sprinkle on all sides with salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add 1 cup water to the bottom of the baking sheet and tent the pan with foil.
• Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the wings are tender, the skin is crispy and brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the wing registers 165 degrees F, about 1 hour more. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• For the blue cheese dip: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, Maytag, half-and-half, sour cream, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
• For the sauce: Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the hot sauce and whisk to combine. Brush the wings all over with the sauce, making sure they are well coated. Serve the wings with the remaining hot sauce, blue cheese dip and carrots and celery.

FRIED TURKEY WINGS WITH CRANBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Stir buttermilk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to combine. Add turkey wings to buttermilk brine (make sure they are submerged). Cover and chill at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Cook cranberry sauce, orange juice, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, breaking up cranberry sauce with a whisk, until cranberry sauce is melted and mixture is reduced slightly, 8-10 minutes. Season cranberry glaze with salt and let cool.
• Fit a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot with thermometer. Pour in oil to come 3" up sides. Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 325°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels; set a wire rack inside baking sheet.
• Whisk flour, pepper, and 2 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 Tbsp. plus ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a large shallow bowl.
• Using tongs, remove wings from brine, letting excess drip back into bowl, and place on a large plate. Spoon 3 Tbsp. brine into flour mixture and rub in with your fingers until mixture is the texture of coarse meal with some larger pieces; discard remaining brine.
• Working one at a time, dredge wings in flour mixture, turning to coat completely and pressing to adhere. Shake off excess and transfer wings to another large plate or baking sheet.
• Carefully slide wings into pot and fry, undisturbed, adjusting heat as needed to maintain temperature, until deep golden brown and crisp underneath, 6-8 minutes. Turn over and fry until deep golden brown on the other side and cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into each piece should register 165°), about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to prepared rack and let cool slightly.
• Using tongs, dip wings in cranberry glaze, turning to coat, then arrange on a platter. Sprinkle parsley over.
