Ingredients
For the Chicken:
🍗 2 pounds chicken wings
🧂 1 teaspoon Hidden Valley ranch seasoning packet
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 1 teaspoon onion powder
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🥫 1 teaspoon adobo
📦 1 teaspoon sazon
🌶️ 1 teaspoon cayenne
🌿 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
🌿 1 teaspoon dried parsley
🥛 1 cup buttermilk
🥚 1 egg
For Coating:
🧉 1 cup all-purpose flour
🍗 1 cup chicken fry mix
For the Sauce:
🧈 1/4 cup butter
🍯 1/4 cup honey
🌶️ 1/4 cup Frank's RedHot sauce
🍯 1 teaspoon Hidden Valley ranch seasoning
🥄 1/4 cup sour cream (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
1- Prepare the Chicken:
- In a large bowl, mix the chicken wings with Hidden Valley ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, adobo, sazon, cayenne, cajun seasoning, and dried parsley. Ensure the seasoning is evenly coated on all the wings.
- In another bowl, whisk buttermilk and egg together. Pour it over the seasoned wings and toss until well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes for best results.
2- Coat the Chicken:
- In a large bag or bowl, combine all-purpose flour and chicken fry mix.
- Remove chicken wings from the marinade and place them into the bag or bowl with the flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake well until all wings are evenly coated.
3- Fry the Wings:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately 10-12 minutes per batch.
- Once done, remove and drain the wings on a paper towel-lined plate.
4- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, honey, and Frank's RedHot sauce. Microwave until the butter melts, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Alternatively, you can heat this mixture in a pan over the stove.
- Stir in the Hidden Valley ranch seasoning until well combined.
5- Toss and Serve:
- Once all wings are fried, place them in a large bowl.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the wings and toss until every piece is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately with optional sour cream for dipping.
