Who doesn't love wings?! Introducing a spicy wing recipe that's so delicious you'll power through the spice. 

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 60 Mins
Servings: 10

Ingredients:

For the chicken:
2 cups buttermilk

1/2 cup Sylvia’s hot sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken parts

For the batter:
1 Bag of Sylvia’s Fried Chicken Mix

For frying:
Canola, vegetable, or peanut oil

    Instructions

    Marinate chicken in: Mix the buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Put the chicken pieces in the buttermilk mixture and coat completely.

    Marinate at least 8 hours and up to 24 in the refrigerator.

    Dredge chicken: Remove the chicken from the refrigerator. In a large paper or plastic (sturdy) bag, Add Sylvia’s Fried Chicken Mix

    A couple pieces at a time, add the chicken to the seasoned flour and shake until thoroughly coated. Shake off any excess flour and let the dredged chicken pieces sit on a platter at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.

    Heat oil in thick-bottomed pan: Meanwhile, heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet on medium heat (cast iron, stainless steel, or anodized aluminum—something that can take the heat). Heat until a pinch of flour gently sizzles when dropped in the hot oil (but not so hot that the pan is smoking), about 325°F. Remember when working with hot oil, always have a pan lid close by, just in case of grease fire.

    Fry the chicken: Working in batches, add the chicken pieces to the hot oil in the pan and fry until golden brown all over, about 8 to 10 minutes per side, flipping the chicken as needed with tongs. When done, the meat should register 165°F in the thickest part using a digital thermometer.

    Remove to a rack to drain excess oil: Use tongs to remove chicken from pan. Place on a rack over a cookie sheet or a platter layered with paper towels for the excess oil to drain. Serve warm.
