Chicken Wing Monday

[WoodlawnSmoker]

It's a holiday here in Canada, beautiful spring day, figured I'd break out the deep fryer.  I found this recipe on the internet years ago and it's been my favourite since.  I do them up every year for the boys at camp in the fall.  They don't have sauce and have the consistency similar to Kentucky Fried but they have a good kick to them; they must be served with your favourite beverage.

Spiced up for marinade before dredging


Crunchy and spicy


Recipe

Ingredients

Spicy Chicken Seasoning Ingredients:
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
12 whole chicken wings, cut in 1/2 at the joint
Spicy Chicken Batter:
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
Vegetable oil, to fry
Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
Spicy Dipping Sauce:
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons horseradish
1/4 tablespoon chili sauce
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Spicy Chicken Batter:

In a small bowl whisk together seasoning salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, cayenne pepper, poultry seasoning, and lemon pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons in a separate bowl.

Rinse chicken wings in cold water and place into a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle the wings evenly with the seasoning, and let them marinate, covered and chilled, for 1 hour.

Whisk eggs, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into a medium size mixing bowl. Reserve. Put the flour into a shallow dish or pie plate.

In a large deep-fryer or large Dutch oven heat oil to 350 degrees F on a deep-fat thermometer.

Dredge chicken wings into the egg mixture then into the flour. Place wings 3 at a time into the hot oil and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray. Make sure oil returns to temperature before adding the next batch. Sprinkle the wings with the reserved seasoning for extra hot wings.

Serve with dipping sauce.

Those look really good. I'm a nut for wings, which is different that being a wingnut but I've been called that from time to time.

Seriously, these look damn spicy. I love spicy meat. But I am confused between Chicken breasts or wings are more easy to cook?
