Buttermilk Fried Chicken Wings

Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside — these classic buttermilk fried chicken wings are designed to shine on the Our Place Induction Plate & Perfect Pot. The buttermilk tenderizes the meat, the seasoned flour creates an ultra-crunchy coating, and the Fry mode keeps your oil at a steady, reliable temperature. Perfect for weeknights, game days, or anytime you want something seriously satisfying.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

Chicken & Marinade

  • 2–2.5 lbs chicken wings, split

  • 1½ cups (360 ml) buttermilk

  • 1 tbsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp paprika


Seasoned Flower

  • 1½ cups (195 g) all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup (65 g) cornstarch

  • 2 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp cayenne (optional)


For Frying

  • Neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or peanut)

  • Thermometer (recommended)

Directions

Step 1

Marinate the Wings: In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne (if using). Add the wings and fully submerge. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

Step 2

Prepare the Seasoned Flour: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne (optional) until well combined.

Step 3

Dredge the Wings: Remove the wings from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Press each piece firmly into the seasoned flour, shake off any excess, and place on a wire rack. Let them sit for 10 minutes to help the coating adhere.

Step 4

Heat the Oil: Fill your Perfect Pot with 8 cups of neutral oil or about ⅓ full. Set the Induction Plate to Fry mode at 350°F (175°C). Heat for 20–25 minutes, checking with a thermometer for accuracy.

Step 5

Fry the Wings: Working in batches, fry the wings for 8–12 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C).

Step 6

Finish & Serve: Transfer each batch to a wire rack to keep the crust crisp. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
