Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoons honey
- 4 pieces celery sticks
- 0.5 cups ranch or blue cheese dressing
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels and separate the drumettes and flats, if needed.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour and place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully add the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding and fry for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the wings reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the wings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the wings are frying, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the hot sauce, white vinegar, and honey. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Serve the buffalo chicken wings immediately with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side.
