Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Hot sauce
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry using a paper towel, then cut them into drumettes and flats if not already done.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each wing into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then shake off the excess. Set the coated wings aside on a plate.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk with 2 tablespoons of hot sauce. Dip each floured wing into the milk mixture, then coat it again with the flour mixture for a double layer of crispiness.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 375°F (190°C). If you don't have a thermometer, test the oil by placing a small piece of bread in it – it should sizzle and turn golden in 15 seconds.
Carefully fry the wings in batches, cooking for 10-12 minutes per batch, or until the wings are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Remove the wings with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
While the wings are frying, prepare the zesty sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the remaining hot sauce and honey until well combined. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less hot sauce to your taste.
Place the crispy wings in a large mixing bowl and pour the hot sauce mixture over them. Toss to coat each wing evenly with the sauce.
Serve the Wing Zingers immediately on a platter with your favorite dips like ranch or blue cheese and some celery sticks on the side. Enjoy!
