Spicy Chicken Wings

 Ingredients

• 1 kg chicken wings or drumsticks
• 3 cups (750ml) buttermilk
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 400 g flour
• 8 cups (2000ml) canola oil
• 1 ½ cups (380ml) hot sauce

Instructions

Mix 3 cups (720 ml) buttermilk, 2 Tbsp chili powder, and 1 tsp Cayenne pepper into a large bowl.
The marinade is a nice, pink color. Salt 2 lbs (1 kg) chicken wings and drumsticks, and pour the marinade on top.
Mix the wings and drumsticks insuring all sides are coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for 1 - 2 hours.   

Add the wings and drumsticks and 400 g of flour into a bowl. Coat all sides of the wings and drumsticks and place them on baking sheet. The buttermilk and flour will add to the deep fried experience.


Heat 2L of canola oil to 350F (180C) in a pot, then use tongs to place the chicken wings and drumsticks in it. Be careful not to burn yourself or expose any of the oil to open flames. Fry less than 7 wings and drumsticks at a time for 3 to 5 minutes. Place on a paper towel when done.



Place the fried wings and drumsticks in a large serving bowl, and pour 360 ml hot sauce over them.
Toss chickens to coat and serve with Blue Cheese dressing and celery sticks.
