Equipment

- paper napkins
- Pan
- Slotted spoon
- whisk
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- spices
- flour
- turkey wings
- paprika
- hot sauce
Instructions
- Rinse the turkey wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim off any excess fat or skin.
- In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned coating for the wings.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Make sure there's enough oil to fully submerge the turkey wings.
- Dredge each turkey wing in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to coat it evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
- Carefully place the coated turkey wings into the hot oil, one or two at a time, depending on the size of your skillet. Be cautious to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Fry the turkey wings for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the wings reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Allow the fried turkey wings to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain their juiciness and allows the crust to become crispy.
- Serve the fried turkey wings hot with your favorite hot sauce or barbecue sauce on the side for dipping. They pair well with coleslaw, fries, or cornbread.
