Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 4 pounds chicken wings, rinsed and jointed
  • Peanut oil for frying
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup finely crushed saltine crackers (the salted ones)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Mix eggs in a bowl, and whisk in the buttermilk and hot sauce until smooth. Mix in the chicken wings until completely coated cover, and refrigerate at least 2 hours or 24 hours.

  • Step 2: Heat the peanut oil in a deep skillet or deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Combine the remaining 6 dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl until evenly blended.

  • Step 3: Remove each chicken wing, letting the buttermilk mixture drip off. Pack in the breading, then gently shake off any excess breading. Transfer to a rack. Allow to sit 30 minutes, then repeat to coat all of the chicken wings again.

  • Step 4: Fry in batches in the hot oil until the meat is no longer pink at the bone and the breading is crispy, about 10 minutes. Turn the wings frequently to ensure even cooking. Drain on a rack.
