At Home Spicy Chicken Wings Seasoned Coating Mix

Cajun Dipping Sauce 10.5 oz

PREPARATION

Prepare

In a bowl, combine water (2 tbsp) and Seasoned Coating Mix to create a crumbly texture.
In another bowl, beat 1 egg.
Pat chicken wings dry.

Heat

Fill skillet halfway with oil and place over medium-high heat to reach 350° F. Oil is ready to use when a pinch of breading dropped in the oil sizzles without burning.

Fry

Moisten wings thoroughly in egg wash and then the dry crumble mix, pressing firmly until fully coated.
Add chicken to hot oil and cook each side for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from pan when internal temperature is 165° F and juices run clear.
Enjoy!

PRO TIPS

Even Cooking

For fried foods, smaller pieces have more surface area and therefore more space to get crispy. Halve catfish lengthwise and chicken breasts crosswise. Medium-large shrimp (31/40 count) work well. Use equal-sized pieces to ensure everything cooks evenly.

Fully Flavored Chicken

For deeply flavored chicken, use a salt-and-buttermilk brine (preferred ratios vary). Soak for at least 8 hours and up to 24; rinse off the brine at the end. For a quicker brine, use 2 quarts of water with ½ cup each of salt and sugar – but don’t let it sit more than an hour or it will get very salty!
