Ingredients

- 1/2 egg white beaten acting as a binding agent to help adhere the flour and seasonings to the chicken, ensuring a crispy and well-coated texture.
- 1 teaspoon onion salt combining the savory flavors of onion and salt infusing the chicken with a deliciously seasoned taste.
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper adding a subtle heat and a hint of pungency balancing the flavors and enhancing the overall taste experience.
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt providing a unique and slightly tangy flavor reminiscent of celery enhancing the seasoning blend and adding a delightful twist.
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder providing a subtle kick of heat and a touch of smokiness elevating the flavor profile and adding depth to the dish.
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage carefully measured contributing a warm and earthy note, enriching the flavor profile and providing a hint of herbaceousness.
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice infusing the chicken with warm and aromatic notes contributing to a unique and tantalizing flavor profile.
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder infusing the chicken with a robust and aromatic garlic flavor adding depth and complexity to the dish.
- 1/2 whole chicken ensuring a generous portion of succulent and juicy meat that will be the star of this flavorful dish.
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour providing a light and crispy coating for the chicken resulting in a delightful golden crust when fried.
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil complementing the other seasonings and enhancing the overall flavor profile.
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano adding a herbaceous and earthy essence to the chicken enhancing its overall savory character.
- 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram providing a delicate and floral note contributing to the aromatic complexity of the dish.
- 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt ensuring the chicken is properly seasoned and allowing the flavors of the other seasonings to shine.
- 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar adding a subtle sweetness that caramelizes during cooking creating a deliciously flavorful and slightly sticky exterior for the chicken.
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika imparting a vibrant red color and a mild slightly sweet flavor that enhances the visual appeal and taste of the chicken.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, oregano, chilli powder, ground allspice, black pepper, celery salt, sage, onion salt, paprika, dried basil, marjoram and garlic powder.
- Cut the chicken into 10 pieces. Rub each piece with the prepared seasoning mixture.
- Place the chicken in a large resealable bag and cover it with the egg white. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Heat oil to 375 F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven. Working in batches, carefully place the chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). Drain on paper towels before transferring to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until fully cooked through. Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauces.
Notes
• Be sure to use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken wings before serving.
• Make sure you have plenty of oil in your deep-fryer or Dutch oven – the chicken needs to be completely submerged to fry correctly.
• If you don’t have a deep fryer, you can also bake these wings in the oven at 400F degrees for 30 minutes.
