Deep fried chicken wings

Started here: https://www.lifesambrosia.com/cajun-fried-chicken-wings-recipe/

Don't have "blackening powder" from above recipe, so mixed up:
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • Pinch of salt (maybe 1 tsp?)
Tasted the dry mix and adjusted until it seemed salty and flavorful enough.

Started preparing dinner late, so skipped the 30 minute rest time in the fridge.

Used 1 egg, glug of milk, no hot sauce b/c kiddo doesn't like spicy.

Used 1 cup flour, 1 tbsp corn starch, another pinch of salt.

Deep fried with induction wok b/c it has the draining rack, outside to minimize cleanup. Get the oil up to 350 F. Wings were "done" when internal temp hits 79 C.

Big hit. Use one tray of wings from No Frills. Not sure about the weight, maybe 1kg? The egg wash pretty much got used up.

For the second go at this recipe, we coated and dusted some carrot chips with the egg wash and flour before frying. This worked out rather well, actually. Next we'll try sweet potato slices.
