Introduction

Ingredients
- 2 pounds of chicken wings
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup of hot sauce
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
-
Place the chicken wings in the bowl and toss them in the flour mixture until they are evenly coated.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). If you don't have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it. If it sizzles and turns golden brown within a minute, it's ready.
-
Carefully place the coated chicken wings into the hot oil and fry them for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
-
While the wings are frying, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the hot sauce and stir until well combined.
-
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
-
In a large bowl, pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss them until they are fully coated.
-
Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are crispy and the sauce has slightly caramelized.
