    Fried Chicken Wings with Hot Sauce: A Stay-at-Home Parent’s Blog

    As a stay-at-home parent, it is important to make sure that the family is well fed with nutritious and delicious meals. One of my favorite dishes to make is Fried Chicken Wings with Hot Sauce. This dish has become a regular in our family meal rotation as it is both easy to make and incredibly flavorful. The combination of the crispy fried chicken wings and spicy hot sauce provides a unique and delicious taste that everyone loves. Plus, it’s a great way to use up any leftover chicken wings that you may have!

    Ingredients:

    • 2 pounds of chicken wings (drumettes and wingettes)
    2 cups of buttermilk
    • 1 tablespoon of hot sauce
    • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon of paprika
    • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Vegetable oil for frying
    • Hot sauce for serving (I like Frank’s RedHot)
    Instructions:

    1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, buttermilk, and hot sauce. Mix everything together until the wings are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight.
    2. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
    3. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated. Shake off any excess flour before placing on a plate.
    4. Heat about two inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit on a deep-frying thermometer. Working in batches, carefully add the chicken wings to the oil and fry for about 8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to turn them over halfway through cooking.
    5. Place the cooked chicken on a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately with hot sauce on the side for dipping!

    My family loves this recipe as it is easy to make and incredibly flavorful! A few years ago I had some friends over for dinner who had never tried fried chicken wings before – they were blown away by how delicious they were! We spent hours talking, laughing, and eating this delicious dish with hot sauce on the side for dipping – it was one of those evenings that you just can’t forget! I love making this dish as it always takes me back to that wonderful night spent with my friends, while providing my family with an amazing meal!

    A Story of How Chicken And Shrimp Jambalaya Came To Be

    Once upon a time in New Orleans there was a family of three siblings who lived in a small house near the Mississippi River Delta region. During their childhood days they could often be found fishing together in their free time; catching seafood such as shrimp and catfish which they would later bring home to be cooked up into delicious meals like gumbo or jambalaya! It was their mother who taught them how to make these traditional dishes with her secret ingredients that gave them their unique flavor; such as adding smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to spice up their jambalaya! Over time they began experimenting with different combinations of ingredients like adding chicken or sausage to their jambalaya which eventually became their signature dish—Chicken And Shrimp Jambalaya! To this day it remains one of their favorite meals whenever they get together as a family—a reminder of how far they have come since those early days by the delta!
