- Marinate the Chicken. In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, mustard, hot sauce, spices, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the chicken wings and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Prepare the Dredge. In a large, shallow dish, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
- Fry the Chicken. In a HexClad 7QT/6.6 L Hybrid Deep Sauté Pan/Chicken Fryer, heat about 1 inch/2.5 cm oil (about 10 cups/2.5 L oil) to 350°F/175°C.
- Working with one piece at a time, remove the chicken from the marinade (do not shake off excess) and dredge in flour mixture, pressing so it adheres all over. Transfer coated chicken to a baking sheet.
- Working in batches, fry chicken pieces, turning once until golden brown and fully cooked, 10 to 12 minutes. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces. Transfer cooked chicken to a wire rack or paper towel set over a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
