Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Marinade:

  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch

Dry Coating:

  • 2 cups coarse sweet potato starch
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp white pepper

Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

  • 8 tbsp butter
  • 7 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/41/2 cup mayonnaise (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken:
    • In a large bowl, combine chicken wings, garlic powder, paprika, chicken bouillon powder, salt, cayenne pepper, white pepper, eggs, and cornstarch. Mix until evenly coated.
    • Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the Dry Coating:
    • In a separate bowl, combine sweet potato starch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chicken bouillon powder, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
  • Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
    • Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and thyme, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
    • Lower heat, stir in Parmesan cheese and parsley. Whisk in mayonnaise, adjusting creaminess to preference. Set aside.
  • Coat the Chicken:
    • Remove marinated chicken from the refrigerator.
    • Coat each piece thoroughly in the dry mixture. Place on a wire rack and let sit for 10–15 minutes.
  • Fry the Chicken:
    • Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot.
    • Fry chicken in batches for about 8 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a paper towel-lined rack.
  • Double-Fry for Extra Crispiness:
    • Increase the oil temperature slightly and fry the chicken a second time for 2-3 minutes until extra crispy. Drain again.
  • Toss in Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
    • Place hot wings in a bowl. Pour garlic Parmesan sauce over and toss until evenly coated.
  • Serve:
    • Transfer wings to a platter and grate additional Parmesan over the top for extra flavor.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For an extra crispy texture, double-fry the chicken.
  • You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise in the sauce to suit your preference for creaminess.
  • Feel free to use chicken drumsticks instead of wings if preferred.
  • Add more Parmesan for a cheesy flavor boost.
