Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge the wings lightly in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Place the floured wings on a baking sheet or plate and let rest for 10 minutes to help the coating adhere.
While the wings rest, heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or deep, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully fry the wings in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the wings are golden brown, crispy, and have an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C). Remove the wings from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the hot sauce, white vinegar, and honey, whisking until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat.
Transfer the fried wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Serve immediately with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks, if desired. Enjoy responsibly—these wings are spicy!
