Here You Go!<br /><br />4-5 Servings<br /><br />INGREDIENTS<br /><br />3 Lbs Chicken wings<br />4 Cups buttermilk<br />1/2 Cup lard<br />1 Cup flour<br /><br />Master Spice Mix<br />1/2 cup cayenne<br />6 Tbsp. Dried minced onion(or onion powder)<br />6 Tbsp. Dried minced garlic (or garlic powder)<br />6 Tbsp. Paprika<br />4 Tbsp. Brown sugar<br />2 Tbsp. Salt<br />2 Tbsp. Black pepper<br /><br /><br />PREPARATION<br /><br />Mix all master spice mix ingredients and separate into 3 equal portions.<br /><br />In a large bowl combine 1/3 master spice mix and 4 cups buttermilk, and 3 lbs chicken wings. Cover and chill for as long as possible. 4 hours to overnight.<br /><br />Rinse the brined wing pieces and pat dry.<br /><br />Mix 1 cup of flour with another 1/3 of the master spice mix. Dredge the chicken wing pieces in the flour/spice mixture, shaking off any excess. Set aside.<br /><br />Heat your oil to 325˚ F / 170˚ C<br /><br />Fry your wings for 8-10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F. The wings will splatter so its a good idea to have a lid nearby! Take the wings out and drain on a paper bag or paper towels. <br /><br />Place 1/2 cup of lard in a saucepan and sprinkle over the last 1/3 of your master spice mix. Once the lard is melted and warm, stir the mixture and take it off the heat. Immediately baste your fried wings with the lard/spice mix and serve immediately
