Instructions

1. Put the turkey wing sections into a large container. Season with 1 tbsp poultry seasoning, minced garlic, and chopped onion. Pour the buttermilk over the turkey, and let it brine in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
2. Drain the wings and discard the buttermilk. Rinse the wings under water and set them aside.

7. Remove the wings and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
8. Serve and enjoy your crispy deep-fried turkey wings!
