Vegetable oil, to fry

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.

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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />I fixed it last night and my wife and I ate the leftovers for lunch today. We loved it. <br /> <br />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." <br /> <br />This recipe is a rare find that you should add to your favorites. It is now my favorite fried chicken recipe.
