Ingredients
2 lb Chicken wings, split
Kosher salt
Fresh cracked black pepper
1 cup All-purpose flour
3 cup Vegetable oil for frying
Directions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This ensures a crispier exterior when they cook.
Season the wings generously on all sides with kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
Pour the all-purpose flour into a shallow bowl or plate.
Working in batches if needed, coat each wing thoroughly in the flour, shaking off excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the floured wings into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid crowding. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the wings are golden brown and crispy on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at every major Charlotte chain—no special stops. At roughly $2 per serving for wings, vegetable oil, and flour, this is genuinely cheap; wings are one of the best protein values. The stated 30 minutes is honest if you pat the wings dry and work quickly, though first-timers should budget 35 to avoid a soggy batch. This is a crowd-pleaser that reheats well in a 400°F oven and scales effortlessly for a family, making it a reliable weeknight or game-day choice.
