Preparing the Wings
To start, rinse the chicken wings under cold water. This helps to clean them and remove any excess blood. Once rinsed, pat them dry with paper towels. Getting rid of moisture is key to achieving that perfect crispy texture. Place the wings in a large bowl, which will make it easier to coat them with spices and sauces later. You can choose to trim the wing tips if you prefer a cleaner presentation, but this is entirely optional.
Creating the Spice Mix
In a separate bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. This spice mix will give your wings a flavorful kick. Use a whisk or a fork to ensure that the spices are evenly blended. Once mixed, sprinkle the spice blend generously over the chicken wings in the mixing bowl. Toss the wings to coat them evenly in the spice mixture. This step is crucial for ensuring that every bite is packed with flavor.
Marinating for Depth
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the wings to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Marinating gives the spices time to penetrate the meat, enhancing the overall flavor. If you have more time, letting the wings sit for a few hours or even overnight can deepen the taste even further. This waiting period is well worth it, as it significantly elevates the flavor profile of the wings.
Preparing the Hot Sauce
While the wings marinate, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is fully melted, add the hot sauce to the pan and stir until the two are well combined. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes; this lets the flavors meld together beautifully. If you want to customize the heat level, feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce according to your taste. You can also add a splash of vinegar for added tang.
Frying the Wings
After marination, heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. You want the oil to reach about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying. Carefully add the wings in small batches to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to soggy results. Fry the wings for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
Tossing the Wings
Once the wings have cooled for a moment, transfer them to a clean mixing bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the fried wings, ensuring they are well-coated. Toss them gently to make sure each piece is evenly covered with the spicy sauce. If you prefer extra heat, feel free to add more hot sauce to taste. This step is essential for achieving that signature Wicked Wings flavor.
Serving the Combo
To serve, arrange the wings on a platter. Accompany them with celery sticks for a refreshing crunch. Add a bowl of ranch dressing for dipping, which balances the spice of the wings beautifully. This combination of spicy wings and cool ranch creates a delightful contrast that everyone will love. For an added touch, you can garnish the platter with chopped parsley or green onions for color. This 10 Wicked Wings® Combo is perfect for gatherings, game days, or any casual meal.
