Ingredients
- 2lbs Chicken Wings
- 3 Eggs
- ¼ Cup Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Louisiana Style Hot Sauce
- 2 Cups Flour
- 2 Tsp Salt
- Oil, for frying (I use Canola, Vegetable also works great)
- ½ Cup Lard (I used Butter Crisco), or Butter
- 3 Tablespoons Cayenne Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
- ½ tsp Paprika
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- ¾ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- Sliced White Bread
- Dill Pickle Slices
- Preheat the oil in your deep fryer or a cast iron skillet to 360°.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and hot sauce until combined. In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour and 2 tsp salt.
- Pat chicken wings dry. Dredge each wing in the milk/egg mixture, then in the flour, then back in the egg mixture and again in the flour. Make sure to shake the excess off after each step.
- Fry the wings in batches. Fry them until crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from fryer and place on a baking rack.
- To make the hot coating, melt the butter or Crisco in a heat proof bowl. Add the cayenne pepper, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Whisk together until well combined.
- Baste the hot mixture over each side of the wings. Garnish with pickles and white bread. Serve immediately.
