Chicken Wings coated in JFC Frickin Good Chicken Breading before being deep-fried at 350 F for about 10 -12 minutes. Kentucky Fried Chicken Style Wings! Serve these up with various dips and sides, or toss the Chicken Wings in Sauce and Serve.
Side Tidbit: Did you know that Colonel Sander’s favorite Chicken piece was the Wing.
Chicken Wings
Pick up your wings when they are on sale. In my area, they go for 2.99 and occasionally go for 1.99 per lb. rarely, but it does happen at .99 a lb. Your Local Cash & Carry will have these by the Box full, which are usually cheaper than buying a few lbs. here and there.
Depending on size, there are about 12 – 14 pieces in 1 lb. on avg.
The Wings are significantly smaller than full pieces of chicken. Because of this, you don’t really have to Season the Wings or Marinate. Although you could if you wanted to, and there are a few options in the Marinade section below.
Whole JFC Chicken Wings
With Split wings, you should be able to fit about 1 lbs. of Wings into each Basket. Whole Chicken Wings will fit less, about 4-5 per basket.
Chicken Wings Marinade
Water is all that is really needed. Just dip the Wings in Water before coating with JFC Breading. You can add some Salt to the Wings to add some seasoning.
Salt & Wash
Use 1 tsp of Kosher Salt for every 1 lb. of Chicken wings. Mix well and refrigerate for 1 hour. After which, wash the Wings with Water before breading or wash the Wings and strain, then place into the Egg wash below. Either way is fine and is the quick way to prepare the Wings.
Egg Wash
Use 1 Egg & 3 Tablespoons of water.
First, whisk the Eggs until fluffy. Then whisk the mixture again with the added water. Add the Wings and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to bread.
Fried Chicken Marinade
Another option is to marinate the wings in the following. This is the go-to way when preparing Fried Chicken Pieces, and I often use this method for Wings too.
Marinate in the fridge for an hour. Then move the Chicken from the marinade straight to the JFC Breading. Press the breading in and shake off any excess flour.
Fried Chicken Marinade
- 1/2 C Water
- 1 Chicken Maggi Bouillon Cube
- 1/2 tsp MSG
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
JFC Breading
The breading used is JFC ~ Frickin Good Chicken Breading. This is used for the main breading of the wings right before they go into the deep fryer.
However, you prepare the Wings, the final stage is to bread the Wings. Toss one at a time into the bowl of JFC Breading and toss to coat. Then press the breading into the Wings and shake off any excess flour. Set it aside on a baking tray until all the Wings are breaded.
JFC Breading
Deep Frying Chicken Wings
Once the Wings are coated and the deep fryer is at 350 F. The Wings go in to cook for 10 -12 minutes. I do 2 lb. at a time, 1 lb. per basket.
Give it a bit of a Shake when they go into the Oil to separate them a bit and ensure that each Wing gets coated in the Hot Oil immediately before the breading starts to crisp.

- Pappy BBQ Sauce or toss the wings in a bit of the BBQ Sauce
