Ingredients
Spicy Chicken Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon seasoning salt
- 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 6 whole chicken wings, cut in 1/2 at the joint
Spicy Chicken Batter:
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil, to fry
- Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
Directions
In a small bowl whisk together seasoning salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, cayenne pepper, poultry seasoning, and lemon pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons in a separate bowl.
Rinse chicken wings in cold water and place into a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle the wings evenly with the seasoning, and let them marinate, covered and chilled, for 1 hour.
Whisk eggs, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into a medium size mixing bowl. Reserve. Put the flour into a shallow dish or pie plate.
In a large deep-fryer or large Dutch oven heat oil to 350 degrees F on a deep-fat thermometer.
Dredge chicken wings into the egg mixture then into the flour. Place wings 3 at a time into the hot oil and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray. Make sure oil returns to temperature before adding the next batch. Sprinkle the wings with the reserved seasoning for extra-hot wings.
Serve with dipping sauce.
Spicy Dipping Sauce:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons horseradish
- 1/4 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Although I am a cajun and love hot food, I made the mistake of cutting down on the crushed red pepper and cayenne pepper. I thought it would be too hot. I was wrong. It needs all of the spices recommended to really bring out the flavor "pop" on this exceptional recipe.
While this is a wonderful dry recipe for wings, in fact, it could be used as a primary fried chicken recipe. It is absolutely delicious, hot or cold.
I fixed it last night and my wife and I ate the leftovers for lunch today. We loved it.
I told my wife, "why should I buy KFC, Popeyes, or Church's fried chicken when I have a recipe that is comparable, if not better."
This recipe is a rare find that you should add to your favorites. It is now my favorite fried chicken recipe.

We actually made this with chicken tenders and they came out so juicy. I ran out of crushed red pepper, but it was definitely still spicy. Will do this one again!
