Easy Battered Fried Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 2 lb Chicken Wings (washed and patted dry)
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 1 tsp Seasoned Salt
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Cayenne Pepper
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon Powder
• 0.5 cup Corn Starch
• 0.5 cup Self‑Rising Flour
• 0.5 cup Ice Water (Very cold, keep ice cubes nearby)
• 4 cup Vegetable Oil (for deep frying; use canola, peanut or sunflower oil)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Wings

   Rinse the chicken wings under cold water, pat them completely dry with paper towels, and place them in a large mixing bowl.

   Time: PT10M

2. Season the Wings

   In a small bowl combine garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and chicken bouillon. Sprinkle the mixture over the wings and rub thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.

   Time: PT15M

3. Marinate

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate at room temperature for 1½ hours (or refrigerate up to 2 hours).

   Time: PT1H30M

4. Make the Batter (Butter)

   Without emptying the bowl, add corn starch and self‑rising flour to the seasoned wings. Gradually whisk in the ice water until the mixture reaches a medium‑thick consistency—thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still pourable.

   Time: PT10M

5. Heat the Oil

   Pour vegetable oil into the pot to a depth of about 2‑3 inches. Heat over medium‑high until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 350°F

6. Fry the Wings

   Working in small batches, gently lower the battered wings into the hot oil using tongs. Fry for 10‑12 minutes, turning once, until the coating is golden‑brown and the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165°F (74°C).

   Time: PT12M

   Temperature: 350°F

7. Drain and Rest

   Remove the cooked wings with tongs and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet or on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let rest for 2‑3 minutes before serving.

   Time: PT5M

8. Serve

   Arrange the crispy battered fried chicken wings on a serving platter. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

   Time: PT3M
