Crispy Chicken Wings Recipe
These Homemade Crispy Chicken Wings are coated in fine crushed saltine crackers and spices then deep fried to a crispy crunch golden brown.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 2 lbs chicken wing portions (wingettes and drumetts)
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup saltine crackers (crushed fine)
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp ground dried thyme
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- Oil for frying (fill electric skillet about 2" deep)
Instructions
- 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.
- Heat the oil, about 2" deep, in an electric skillet or large saucepan to 350 degrees F.
- 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 10 - 12 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!
