Stepwise Method: Spicy Fried Chicken Wings

• In a small bowl, combine the paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon pepper, and poultry seasoning. Mix well to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
• Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and hot sauce. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat them evenly in the egg mixture. Let them marinate for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
• In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Once the wings have marinated, take each wing and dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
• In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a cooking thermometer for accuracy to ensure the oil is hot enough for frying.
• Carefully place the coated wings in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them in batches for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
• Once cooked, use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the wings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces!
