Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 2 turkey wings, cut apart at joints and wing tips discarded

  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt

  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)

  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • 4 quarts canola oil for deep frying

Directions

  1. Season turkey wing pieces on all sides with seasoned salt, seafood seasoning, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Transfer into a resealable plastic bag; seal bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.

  2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. Cook turkey wings in hot oil for 15 minutes; turn wings over and continue cooking until the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Editor's Note

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.
