How to cook Crispy Chicken Wings
Beat the egg, milk, and vinegar together in a mixing bowl until smooth. The milk and vinegar makes homemade buttermilk. Mix in the chicken wing portions, cover, and refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Heat the oil, about 2″ deep, in an electric skillet or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Click here for an electric skillet.
Combine the flour and crushed crackers with the pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl.
Remove a chicken wing portion from the buttermilk marinade, allow the excess buttermilk to drip from the wing for a second, then press into the cracker crumbs to coat. Turn and coat very well.
Place each wing on a plate or tray that is lightly coated with flour and discard the remaining marinade.
Cook in the preheated skillet until the breading is golden brown on the outside, and the chicken wings are no longer pink at the bone and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 12 – 15 minutes. Turn them over half way through frying.
Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and season to taste with salt.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and Enjoy!
