Mustard Fried Chicken Wings 10-Jan-2012

Spicy, mustardy, fried chicken wings

“Chicken wings are seasoned with a delicate mixture of spices, then coated in mustard and floured before being fried until crisp. If you don’t have a deep-fryer, you may use a heavy skillet, but for crispier chicken, I would prefer a deep-fryer. This chicken is SO good!”

Ingredients

• 5 pounds chicken wings,separated at joints, tips discarded
• 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 quart oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

1. Season the chicken wings on both sides by sprinkling with seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Coat each piece with a thin layer of mustard. Put the flour into a plastic bag, add the chicken, and shake to coat.

2. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or deep heavy skillet to 350&degF; (175&degC). When the oil is hot, add the chicken in small batches and cook for 6 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Drain on paper towels, and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
