Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tsp White vinegar
- 1 tsp Honey
- 6 pieces Celery sticks
- 0.5 cup Ranch or blue cheese dressing
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and separate the drumettes and wingettes, discarding the wingtips if desired.
In a large bowl, season the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, mixing well to ensure even coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the wings in batches for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C). Remove them with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
While the wings are frying, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, white vinegar, and honey, whisking until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once all the wings are fried, place them in a large bowl. Pour the Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to evenly coat.
Serve immediately with celery sticks and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Enjoy!
