Ingredients

3 pounds chicken wings drummettes & wingette/flats
Kinder's Buttery Poultry Blend or your favorite dry rub/seasoning blend
Crisco or other oil for deep frying

Instructions

Preheat the Crisco or oil in your deep fryer to 375°.
Also, line a large plate with paper towels, set it aside to use after the chicken cooks.
** see the section above for how to fry the wings in a pot on the stove if you do not have a deep-fryer.
Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel. Add them to a rimmed baking dish or sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle on the seasoning blend liberally on all sides of the wings.
Once the oil is at 375°, add wings carefully one at a time. DO NOT overcrowd the oil. You will likely need to cook them in batches.
Cook the wings until the internal temperature reaches 165°. This takes about 5-8 minutes.
Once each batch is ready, remove them from the deep fryer carefully with tongs. Place the wings on a clean plate with fresh paper towels. This will help soak up any remaining oil.
Continue to fry additional batches until all the wings are done.
Once all the wings are done, serve them immediately. Serve as is or use wing dust, toss in sauce, or season additionally.
Plate on individual plates or on a large party platter. Serve with dips, sauces, & condiments.

Notes

STORING & REHEATING:

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in an air fryer or oven at 400° for 5-8 minutes, until crispy & hot.

The plain seasoned wings have zero carbs & are high in protein - based on 8 servings from 3 pounds of chicken this is the nutritional information. This is an estimate as it is always hard to calculate the amount of oil absorbed when frying!
