First, pour frying oil (enough for wings to become submerged) into the Dutch oven or pot, heat to a steady 360 -375F.
Rinse and dry the wings with paper towels to dry the skin.
No Batter - If you want your wings naked, skip the batter, rub seasonings on outside and just fry when oil is to temp for 7-10 minutes or until cooked thru to 165 degrees.
Battered Wings - In a bowl, add 3 tbsp of your flour, salt and spices. Mix together Lay one wing at a time in this so they are covered, allow excess to fall off.
Mix the remaining flour with the baking powder into a bowl, then pour in the milk, beat in the egg as well. Mix thoroughly so that there are no lumps in the batter. If it's too runny, add a little more flour until it's thick enough. The batter should drip slowly from a spoon like pancake batter.
Dip the wings in the batter so that they are covered on all sides. Allow excess batter to fall off from the wing and carefully transfer the wing to the pan with the hot oil.
Fry for 8-12 minutes (longer for larger pieces), turning the wing over (if not already submerged) so that it cooks evenly on both sides and becomes golden brown. Do not add too many wings at once for frying, 6-7 pieces will be enough. (make sure internal temperature is at 165 F before removing)
Spread the deep-fried wings on napkins so that the remaining oil is absorbed, and serve hot sprinkled with salt and pepper or toss with a sauce and enjoy.
