Ingredients for Crispy Southern Crunch Chicken Wings
-
2 lbs chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)
-
1 cup Frenzy Fish Fry Southern Crunch Fish Fry Mix
-
1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk as a substitute)
-
Oil for frying (peanut, canola, or vegetable)
-
Dipping sauces (ranch, honey mustard, buffalo, or BBQ)
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prep the Wings
Pat wings dry with paper towels. This helps the fish fry mix stick evenly and keeps the coating crispy. -
Soak in Buttermilk
Place wings in a shallow dish with buttermilk for 30 minutes. This tenderizes the meat and locks in moisture. -
Coat with Southern Crunch
Pour Southern Crunch Fish Fry Mix into a shallow bowl or bag. Coat each wing thoroughly. For extra crunch, double dip: coat once, dip back in milk, and coat again. -
Heat the Oil
Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 350°F. Maintain the temperature between batches for the perfect golden crust. -
Fry the Wings
Fry wings in small batches for 8–10 minutes, until crispy, golden brown, and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). -
Drain and Serve
Place wings on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot with your favorite sauces or sides.
Serving Ideas
-
Classic Style: Serve plain—the Southern Crunch coating has all the flavor you need.
-
Tossed Wings: Coat in buffalo, BBQ, garlic parmesan, or honey sriracha.
-
Comfort Combo: Pair with fries, onion rings, or coleslaw for the ultimate game-day plate.
