  • Beat eggs and buttermilk together in a mixing bowl until smooth. Mix in chicken wings, cover, and refrigerate, 30 minutes. Combine flour and crushed crackers with pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken wings from the buttermilk marinade, and discard the remaining marinade. Allow excess buttermilk to drip from the wings, then press into bread crumbs to coat.
  • Cook in batches in the preheated deep-fryer until the breading is golden brown on the outside, and the chicken wings are no longer pink at the bone, about 10 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and season to taste with salt before serving.
