Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup hot pepper sauce ( I use Frank’s Red Hot)
  • canola oil

Instruction

  • Remove the tips of the chicken wings and cut at the joint to separate drum from flat part. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
  • In a bowl, combine flour, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge wings in flour mixture to fully coat.
  • In a thick-bottomed pan, heat about 2-inches deep of (about 2 cups) oil to 350 F. 
  • Add breaded wings one at a time and deep-fry, turning as needed, for about 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165 F. Deep-fry in batches as needed, without overcrowding the pan. 
  • Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove wings from the pan and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. 
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and hot pepper sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until butter is melted and the mixture is heated.
  • Dip fried wings in sauce to fully coat. Serve hot with blue cheese or ranch dressing and celery sticks, if desired.
