Add the chicken to a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and add the buttermilk. Mix until evenly coated. *Chef’s Tip: For more tender chicken, leave the chicken in the buttermilk overnight.* 4. Add the seasoned flour to a resealable bag. Drop the buttermilk – soaked winglets into the bag in groups of 4. Seal the bag and shake until they have been coated. *Chef’s Tip: Make your seasoned flour by adding 1 tablespoon of chicken spice to 1 cup of flour.* 5. Gently lay the coated wings into the hot oil and fry, a few at a time, for 5 – 7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Ensure to turn them every 2 minutes. 6.
