How to Make Crispy Crunchy Chicken Hot Wings

Serve a batch of fresh hot wings and everyone will want some. Crispy, crunchy and flavorful, chicken hot wings are a real favorite at parties or just as a snack on a night out. Hot wings will go as fast as you can make them. It is best to eat them before the sauce makes them soggy. Follow the steps below to make the finest crispy, crunchy hot wings that will amaze family and guests.

Things You'll Need

• Chicken drumsticks
• Buttermilk
• Sharp knife
• Breading or oven fry mix
• Hot Oil or oven and baking sheet
• Favorite hot sauce or home made blend
• Sectional party plates or plastic condiment serving cups
• Napkins

Instructions

1. Forget the puny chicken wings, use chicken drumsticks instead to make them a fabulous size that will surprise everyone. Make sure that enough are purchased to equal at least four per person to start. It is likely that people will eat more than four unless a lot of other food choices are available.

2. Make this new version of hot wings just a little healthier to eat. Remove the skin with a sharp knife.

3. Coat the hot wings in buttermilk, then bread them for frying or use an oven fry mix for baking. Let the coating dry for 10 minutes on each side. This will give a crispier result when baking or frying and helps the coating adhere.

4. Bake or fry the hot wings and drain on paper towels.

5. Prepare and have the hot sauce or home made blend ready to serve on the side. Do not cover the hot wings with sauce, they should be individually dipped when eaten to prevent sogginess. Serve the sauce on the side.

6. Accept all the compliments graciously and do not be surprised if others start making their own this way. Crispy crunchy breading is good, and these hot wings are a real bonus because there is actually a verifiable quantity of chicken meat on them.

Tips & Warnings

• Other chicken parts (including boneless and skinless) can also be made the same way, if preferred.

• Always be careful of small or sharp bones when eating chicken.

• Boneless chicken is safer for children.
