Ingredients
| 6 | whole chicken wings, cut into joints (tips discarded or saved for other use) |
|---|---|
| vegetable oil, for deep-frying | |
| 1 | tablespoon seasoning salt |
| 1 | tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes |
| 2 | teaspoons black pepper |
| 2 | teaspoons cayenne pepper |
| 2 | teaspoons poultry seasoning |
| 1 | teaspoon lemon pepper |
| 2 | eggs |
| 2 | tablespoons hot sauce |
| 1 | tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes |
| 1 | teaspoon black pepper |
| 1 | teaspoon cayenne pepper |
| 2 | cups all-purpose flour |
| 1 | cup sour cream |
| 2 | tablespoons horseradish |
| 1⁄2 | tablespoon chili sauce |
| 1⁄2 | teaspoon cayenne pepper |
| salt | |
| fresh ground black pepper |
Instructions
| 1. | Prepare the dipping sauce by combining all ingredients and chilling for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors. |
|---|---|
| 2. | In a bowl, whisk together the seasoning salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, cayenne pepper, poultry seasoning, and lemon pepper, reserving 2 tablespoons for later. |
| 3. | Rinse the chicken wings in cold water, pat them dry, and place them in a shallow baking sheet. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the wings and let them marinate in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for 1 hour. |
| 4. | In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Set aside. Place flour on a shallow plate. |
| 5. | Heat vegetable oil for deep-frying to 350°F (175°C). |
| 6. | Once the oil is hot, dredge the chicken wings first in the egg mixture, then in the flour. Fry in small batches for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels or brown paper bags, then sprinkle with the reserved spice mix for an extra kick if desired. |
| 7. | As the oil reheats to 350°F (175°C), add a few more wings to the fryer and repeat until all wings are cooked. |
| 8. | Serve the spicy fried chicken wings with the prepared dipping sauce. |
