These fried turkey wings promise an explosion of flavor in every crispy, succulent bite, transforming ordinary turkey wings into a deliciously indulgent treat. If you're a fan of tender meat encased in a crunchy, seasoned crust, this dish is the perfect addition to your family dinner rotation.
Start by thoroughly washing and patting dry the turkey wings.
Generously season the turkey wings with the chicken seasoning, ensuring that each piece is coated evenly with the flavorful blend.
Allow the seasoned wings to rest for about 30 minutes.
Heat up your cooking oil for deep frying, aiming for a temperature of around 350°F to 375°F. Check with an instant-read thermometer.
Carefully place the seasoned turkey wings into the hot oil and fry for about 10 minutes.
Fry them until they reach a perfect golden-brown color, indicating they are thoroughly cooked and delightfully crispy.
Place on paper towels to soak up excess oil and allow to rest for a few minutes.
Notes
10% of the frying oil was included in the recipe, since all the oil is not consumed.
To get that coveted crispy skin, pat the wings dry before seasoning and frying. Also, make sure your oil is at the right temperature, and don't overcrowd the fryer.
Feel free to experiment with different seasoning blends or sauces to create a unique flavor profile. A cajun seasoning would be great with this recipe!
For extra flavor, marinate the turkey wings in the seasoning for an extended period, even overnight.
You can make air fryer turkey wings using this recipe - just be sure to air fry for 25 minutes total at 350°F.
Add one tablespoon of onion powder for a stronger flavor.
These crispy fried turkey wings can be cooked with whatever oil you have on hand, whether it's peanut oil or olive oil.
If you don't have a deep fryer, you can use a heavy-bottomed pot or medium Dutch oven to achieve the same results.
While these wings are great on their own, you can serve them with a variety of delicious sauces, like buffalo or ranch dressing.
