Ingredients

• 2 lb Chicken wings
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tsp White vinegar
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 0 optional Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for serving)
• 0 optional Celery sticks (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 2

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the wings and toss again to ensure an even, light coating.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for best results.

Step 4

Working in batches, carefully place the wings into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 8-10 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the wings to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining wings.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the hot sauce, unsalted butter, white vinegar, and honey. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Place the fried wings in a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Serve the spicy buffalo wings hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side, along with celery sticks if desired.
