01
Marinate wings in buttermilk overnight in the refrigerator.
02

Remove wings from buttermilk and dredge in seasoned flour.
04
Heat oil to 350-375°F in a heavy pot.

Fry wings in batches for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
06
Drain on a wire rack and serve with dipping sauces.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“That overnight buttermilk soak tenderizes the wings and helps the flour cling. Fry to a true 165 inside, and let the oil come back up to temp between batches so they crisp instead of steam.”
