Ingredients to make Fried Chicken Wings
Let’s start by gathering the ingredients we need to make crispy fried Chicken Wings. In Chef Speak, this is called the “Mise en Place,” which translates to “Everything in its Place.”
Not only does setting up your ingredients ahead of time speed up the cooking process, it also helps ensure you have everything you need to make the dish.
Made with simple ingredients

- Buttermilk
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Italian seasoning or dried oregano
- Smoked paprika or sweet paprika
- Vegetable oil for frying.
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a buttermilk substitute by adding a teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to whole milk. This mixture won’t get as thick and creamy as buttermilk, but it will yield the same results. You can also use Greek yogurt or sour cream thinned with out with milk or water.
When choosing oil for deep frying, there are two main points that factor into your decision. The smoke point and the flavor of the oil need to be considered.
