Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and separate them into drumettes and flats, if needed. Discard wing tips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until well-coated, ensuring even coverage.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the wings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer or pot. Cook each batch for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the cooked wings from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the wings are frying, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the hot sauce, white vinegar, and honey (if using). Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Remove from heat.
Place the cooked wings in a large mixing bowl and pour the prepared Buffalo sauce over them. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated.
Serve immediately with your favorite gluten-free ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.
