Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 gallon peanut oil for frying
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup hot sauce Frank’s RedHot recommended
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. In a deep-fryer or heavy kettle, heat peanut oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
  3. Working in batches to avoid crowding, carefully lower wings into hot oil. Fry for 8–12 minutes, until crisp and deep golden brown.
  4. While wings fry, whisk together melted butter and hot sauce in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Drain wings on a wire rack or paper towels, then immediately toss in the buttery hot sauce and serve hot.
