Preparing the Chicken Wings
Begin your Go Bucket® 2 Wicked Wings® by selecting fresh chicken wings. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This step is essential for achieving a crispy texture during frying. If desired, you can separate the drumettes and wingettes for easier handling. Once prepared, place the wings in a large bowl and season them lightly with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
Making the Breading Mixture
In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. The cornstarch helps to create an extra crunch, while the baking powder aids in achieving a lighter texture. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined. You can also add a seasoning mix that includes garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper for an added kick. This combination will elevate the overall taste and provide a flavorful crust.
Preparing the Wet Mixture
In another bowl, whisk together one large egg and a quarter cup of hot sauce. This mixture not only adds flavor but also acts as an adhesive for the breading. Ensure that the egg and hot sauce are blended well, creating a smooth consistency. This wet mix is key for helping the flour coating stick effectively to the wings, which is crucial for that crispy exterior once they are fried.
Breading the Wings
Take each chicken wing and dip it into the wet mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then transfer the wing to the bowl containing the flour and cornstarch mixture. Coat the wing thoroughly, pressing gently to ensure the breading adheres properly. Repeat this process until all wings are coated. Place the breaded wings on a wire rack or plate and let them rest for a few minutes. This resting period allows the coating to set, resulting in a crispier finish when fried.
Frying the Wings
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the breaded wings to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, which can lower the oil temperature and lead to sogginess. Fry the wings for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check that they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Once golden brown, remove the wings and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serving the Wicked Wings
Once the wings have drained, it’s time to serve your Go Bucket® 2 Wicked Wings®. You can place them in a fun bucket or a serving dish for a festive presentation. These wings are perfect for sharing at parties, game days, or just as a tasty snack. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, blue cheese, or an extra side of hot sauce to complement their spiciness.
