Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 stick Unsalted butter
- 0.6667 cup Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 sticks Celery sticks (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese dressing (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
Separate the chicken wings into drumettes and flats. Remove the wing tips if desired. Pat the wings dry with paper towels to ensure they fry up crispy.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for consistent frying.
While the oil is heating, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Whisk in the Frank's RedHot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Fry the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding. Carefully add the wings to the hot oil and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the wings from the oil. Place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet or paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Once all of the wings are fried, place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.
Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your authentic buffalo chicken wings!
