Buttermilk Fried Chicken Wings
Recipe from Sunny Cho
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.
