Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Dredge the wings lightly in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Place the floured wings on a baking sheet or plate and let rest for 10 minutes to help the coating adhere.
Step 4
While the wings rest, heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or deep, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C).
Step 5
Carefully fry the wings in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the wings are golden brown, crispy, and have an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C). Remove the wings from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Step 6
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the hot sauce, white vinegar, and honey, whisking until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Transfer the fried wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 8
Serve immediately with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks, if desired. Enjoy responsibly—these wings are spicy!
