Mix in chicken wings, cover, and refrigerate, 30 minutes. Combine flour and crushed crackers with pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove chicken wings from the buttermilk marinade, and discard the remaining marinade. Allow excess buttermilk to drip from the wings, then press into bread crumbs to coat. Cook in batches in the preheated deep-fryer until the breading is golden brown on the outside, and the chicken wings are no longer pink at the bone, about 10 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and season to taste with salt before serving. Editor's Note: The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the breading ingredients. The actual amount of the breading consumed will vary. We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used. Cook's Note: For buffalo wings, use the same procedure as above only immediately after removing from oil, place in a large sealable container with wing sauce, and shake to coat wings.
