I nicknamed these breaded chicken wings party wings because I make this easy recipe anytime I host. They're a guaranteed crowd-pleaser because they're so customizable!

I love to serve the wings with french fries or dips to fit any occasion. Game day, served as a hosting appetizer or just a fun spin on weeknight dinner, this recipe is as versatile as it gets! Plus, it doesn't take much to make breaded chicken wings, so I bet you have most, if not all, of the ingredients you need already.

Ingredients Needed

For the wings:

2.5lb. whole chicken wings
2 cups milk
2 eggs

For the coating:

2 ½ cups flour
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ tablespoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste

How To Make Breaded Chicken Wings

Step 1: Prepare

First, wash the chicken wings and pat dry with a paper towel, then place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Whisk eggs with milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Combine the flour with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika in a separate bowl.

Step 2: Coat The Chicken

Now, you can coat the chicken with the egg wash and flour mixture, then repeat once more to be double-coated. Shake off the excess flour. Place the coated wings on a wire rack and continue until all the wings are coated.

Step 3: Fry The Chicken

To start, heat 2 inches of oil in a saucepot. Then add the chicken wings to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, for 8 minutes, flipping halfway. Once crispy, place the fried chicken onto a wire rack and fry the remaining wings. Serve the crispy wings warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

How To Store Breaded Chicken Wings

While these breaded chicken wings are best when served immediately, you can store them if you have any leftovers. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To keep them for longer, you can put them in a freezer-safe bag and freeze them for up to 6 months.

How To Reheat The Crispy Wings

My favorite way to reheat the wings is in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until hot and the breading is crispy again. For frozen wings, just add more reheating time.
