Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
- 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 pounds chicken wingettes or chicken wings with joints removed
- cooking oil for frying
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- ½ cup salted butter (1 stick)
- 3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a large Ziplock bag, combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to fully combine.
- Add in the chicken wings about 10 at a time, sealing and shaking to fully coat the wings in the flour mixture.
- Remove the wings from the mixture and place them on a paper plate. Repeat with all the wings until they are all fully coated in the flour mixture.
- Place wings in the fridge for 10-30 minutes; this will help the flour to fully adhere to the wings.
- While the wings chill in the fridge, heat 3 inches of oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven to 360°F.
- Fry the wings in batches of 10 for 10-15 minutes, or until the wings are crispy, browned, and fully cooked through. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- When you start frying your last batch of wings, start your sauce.
- Heat the butter, hot sauce, and honey over medium-high heat in a small saucepan. Stir while you cook. Once bubbling, reduce to simmer and continue cooking.
- Use a whisk to stir the sauce often while cooking, about 10-15 minutes.
- Once all the wings are done and drained of oil, add them all to a large bowl and toss in the hot sauce.
- Serve immediately, with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
