Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings, then cut them into drumettes and flats if they are not pre-cut. Discard the wing tips or save them for stock.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
Dredge the chicken wings in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Place the coated wings on a plate and let them rest for about 15 minutes to help the coating adhere.
Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder, and 0.25 teaspoon salt. Mix well and set aside.
Working in batches, carefully fry the chicken wings in the hot oil for 8-10 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Once all the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Serve the wings immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
