Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup hot sauce
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the wings into drumettes and wingettes, discarding the wing tips.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.

Step 4

Dip each wing into the whisked eggs, then coat it evenly in the flour mixture. Repeat for all wings and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot to 375°F (190°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Step 6

While the oil is heating, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then stir in the hot sauce. Keep warm and set aside.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the rosemary sprigs to the oil and fry them for 1-2 minutes to infuse their flavor into the oil. Carefully remove the rosemary and set it aside on a paper towel.

Step 8

Fry the chicken wings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry each batch for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the wings, and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 9

Toss the fried wings in the warm buffalo sauce until they are evenly coated.

Step 10

Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Garnish with the fried rosemary and fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of celery and carrot sticks.
