Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings (split into drums and flats)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour and set the wings aside on a plate.
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches and maintains this temperature.
Carefully add the chicken wings to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wings are golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C).
Remove the cooked wings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
While the wings are frying, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, honey, and cayenne pepper (if using), and whisk until fully combined. Remove the sauce from heat.
Once all the wings are cooked, transfer them to a clean large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and gently toss them until they are evenly coated.
Serve the wings hot with your choice of dipping sauce (e.g., ranch or blue cheese) and celery sticks. Enjoy!
