How to make Chicken Hot Wings | Nashville Hot Chicken
In a bowl, add cayenne powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin powder, salt, and mix. Yields 1 cup of Nashville spice powder. Divide this spice mix into 3 portions and keep it aside.
In a bowl, add buttermilk or yogurt along with ⅓ cup of Nashville spice powder and mix well. To this, add chicken wings and toss until combined. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours for best result. Add flour, ⅓ cup of Nashville spice mix, and salt in a bowl and mix well. To this, add marinated chicken wings one at a time and dredge them nicely in the flour so that they are coated well. Keep it aside for 2 to 3 minutes so that the flour adheres well to the chicken wings.
Heat oil in a pan on a medium flame for frying. Once the oil is hot, add 5 to 6 chicken wings depending on the size of the pan and cook on medium to medium-high flame for 10 minutes or until the skin becomes deep golden in color and crispy on the outside. Flip halfway through the frying process, around 4 or 5-minute mark. Check out the video here. Transfer to a paper towel to absorb any excess oil, and then place them over wire racks to keep the wings crispy for a longer time.
