Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 stick Unsalted butter
- 0.6667 cup Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 sticks Celery sticks (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese dressing (optional, for dipping)
Directions
Step 1
Separate the chicken wings into drumettes and flats. Remove the wing tips if desired. Pat the wings dry with paper towels to ensure they fry up crispy.
Step 2
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for consistent frying.
Step 3
While the oil is heating, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Whisk in the Frank's RedHot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Fry the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding. Carefully add the wings to the hot oil and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the wings from the oil. Place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet or paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 6
Once all of the wings are fried, place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.
Step 7
Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your authentic buffalo chicken wings!
