A great recipe by Tasty, this unique hot wings dish is a hot-shot!

You need 3 Lbs Chicken wings, 4 Cups buttermilk, 1/2 Cup lard, and 1 Cup flour. For the master spice mix, you need 1/2 cup cayenne, 6 Tbsp. Dried minced onion(or onion powder), 6 Tbsp. Dried minced garlic (or garlic powder), 6 Tbsp. Paprika, 4 Tbsp. Brown sugar, 2 Tbsp. Salt, and 2 Tbsp. Black pepper.

For the procedure, first, mix all master spice mix ingredients and separate into 3 equal portions. Then, in a large ball 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. Rinse the brined wing pieces and pat dry.

Next, 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. Heat your oil to 325˚ F / 170˚ C.

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.

Lastly, 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.
