Copycat Outback Kookaburra Wings

These wings are seriously exactly like Outback Steakhouse’s Kookaburra Wings!
We love Outback’s Kookaburra wings!

I’ve been looking for a recipe that even comes close and every recipe was off. I’ve seen recipes with Taco seasoning, Kraft Mac and Cheese….none taste like Outbacks! Then I saw this recipe. It uses Poultry seasoning. But not just any poultry seasoning. It uses “Southern style” poultry seasoning. At first I thought I would have to buy online.



Then I looked in my local grocery store, and there it was! Badia Southern style poultry seasoning!

My next thing was the lard. I never cook with lard, but the recipe says to use it and don’t substitute that lard is the secret. I used some lard but put in some canola oil as I didn’t buy enough lard.

I have been told these wings are the closest to the original Outback wings. I haven’t tried with all canola or other oil, so don’t know how they come out that way. 

These are super easy to make. I made from Bell & Evans wings. They are pretty meaty for wings.  Purdue are also a good choice. 

You just dry the wings with a paper towel. Make sure you dry well. Drop wings into just the seasoning and coat. Then drop into the flour/seasoning mix and coat thoroughly. Put on a tray until you coat all wings the same way.

Fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. It will be difficult to get an accurate internal temperature reading with a thermometer, so just cook until golden brown.

Remove and drain on a paper towel.

Dips wings in the butter/Tabasco mixture. Serve.

Hubby swears these tastes extremely close to Outbacks! He orders these every time we go to Outback and that’s pretty often! These are the tastiest wings you’ve tried!
