Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. If not already separated, cut the wings into drumettes and flats, discarding the tips if desired.
In a large zip-top bag, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Seal the bag and shake well to mix.
Add the chicken wings to the bag in batches, seal, and shake until the wings are evenly coated in the flour mixture. Place the coated wings on a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to set the coating.
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature.
Carefully add the wings to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked wings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, honey, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Cook the sauce gently, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss them until they are evenly coated.
Serve the Wing Dingers hot with your favorite dipping sauces, celery sticks, and carrot sticks on the side. Enjoy!
