Barbecue Fried Chicken

Instructions

For the Chicken:

1. Marinate the Chicken:
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings and buttermilk. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. Prepare the Coating:
4. In a shallow dish, mix the whole wheat flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
5. Coat the Chicken:
6. Remove the chicken wings from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each wing in the seasoned flour mixture until well coated.
7. Fry the Chicken:
8. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a light layer of oil. Once hot, add the coated chicken wings in batches, cooking for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, for a healthier option, bake the coated wings in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.

For the Barbecue Sauce:

1. Combine Ingredients:
2. In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, Blyss Monkfruit Sweetener, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Cook the Sauce:
4. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. Coat the Chicken:
6. Toss the fried or baked chicken wings in the prepared barbecue sauce until well coated.
