Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 cups pickle juice
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • frying oil
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 ½ cups red hot sauce
  • ¼ cup distilled vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • celery sticks
  • carrot stick
  • blue cheese dressing
  • ranch dressing

Instruction

  • Add the chicken, pickle juice, and buttermilk to a plastic zip bag. Close the bag and mix until combined and brine in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 12 hours.
  • Preheat your frying oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F.
  • Add the flour to a large pan or casserole dish.
  • Remove the wings from the brine and place them into the flour and thoroughly mix until they are completely coated.
  • Transfer the wings to the oil and cook for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked throughout. Note: You will most likely need to do these in batches so that they cook without sticking. Keep warm.
  • Sauce: Combine all ingredients into a medium-sized pot and cook over low heat until the butter is melted.
  • Transfer the hot sauce and wings to a large bowl and toss to coat.
  • Serve with optional dippers and sauces.
