Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cups hot sauce (your choice)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 stalks green onions (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the chicken by patting it dry with paper towels and cutting into wingettes and drumettes if not pre-cut. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until fully coated. Shake off excess flour and place the wings on a baking sheet. Let them rest for 15 minutes so the coating adheres.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Ensure enough oil to fully submerge the wings.
Fry the wings in batches, cooking for 8-10 minutes per batch until crispy, golden brown, and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C). Transfer cooked wings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the hot sauce, butter, and honey. Stir until the butter is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
Place the cooked wings in a large bowl and pour the hot sauce mixture over them. Toss to fully coat the wings in the sauce.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
