How to Make It
1. Step
Combine all master spice mix ingredients and separate into three equal portions.
2. Step
In a large bowl combine chicken wings, ⅓ master spice mix, the buttermilk. Cover and chill for as long as possible (4 hours to overnight).
3. Step
Rinse the brined wing pieces and pat dry.
4. Step
Mix the flour with another ⅓ of the master spice mix.
5. Step
Dredge the chicken wing pieces in the flour/spice mixture. Shake off any excess. Set aside.
6. Step
Heat your oil to 325˚F (170˚C).
7. Step
Fry the wings for 8-10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F (74˚C). The wings will splatter so its a good idea to have a lid nearby!
8. Step
Take the wings out and drain on a paper bag or paper towels.
9. Step
Place the lard in a saucepan and sprinkle over the last ⅓ 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 right away!
