Number Of Ingredients 7

8 turkey wings separated at joints, tips removed, rinsed well and patted dry
8 tablespoons Emeril's Essence seasoning
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons hot sauce
Peanut oil for frying
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons salt

Steps:

In a large bowl toss the wings with 5 tablespoons of the Essence. Place in a large plastic freezer bag. Add the buttermilk and hot sauce and seal, forcing out as much air out as possible and turning to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Fill a large pot halfway with peanut oil, and heat to 360°F. In a clean large freezer bag, combine the flour, the remaining 3 tablespoons Essence, and salt. Remove the turkey wings from the buttermilk, and transfer 2 at a time to the bag with the seasoned flour. Shake to coat and remove, shaking to remove any excess flour. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place coated wings on a large wire rack set over a sheet tray and let rest, un-refrigerated, for 20 minutes. Add to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and season with Essence. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
