How To Make maple bacon chicken wings

Step 1

Mix the buttermilk, maple syrup, chili crisp, and salt together. Add the wings and let them marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.

Step 2

Place peanut oil in a deep fryer or large pot. Bring to 350 degrees. Mix the flour and salt. Once the oil is hot, remove the wings from the marinade.
Step 3

Dredge in the flour and add to the hot oil. Cook in batches until browned and crispy. Place the cooked ones in a big bowl.
Step 4

Crumble the bacon and mix with sugar.
Step 5

Once all the wings are cooked, add the bacon sugar and mix well. Drizzle more maple syrup and chili oil over the wings and enjoy.
