Place chicken wings in a bowl and sprinkle with kosher salt.

Fill the bowl with plain water and let the chicken brine in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours.

In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1.5 cups of waffle mix, whisking to combine.

Add black pepper, seasoning salt, and smoked paprika to the flour and waffle mix, and whisk again.

Remove chicken from the fridge and pour out the salt water.

Coat the chicken wings in the flour and waffle mix until fully breaded.

Heat 2 cups of canola oil in a pot on medium-high heat.

Fry the chicken wings in the hot oil until golden brown, then remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
