Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings
- 2 cups hot sauce Lousianna or Frank's Red Hot Sauce recommended
- 1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 jalapeños sliced
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- oil for frying
Instructions
Cutting the wings
- If the wings are not already pre-cut, straighten out the wing, and cut the wing at each joint.
Frying the wings
- Preheat vegetable oil to 350 degrees.
- Deep-fry the wings for 8 to 10 minutes. The chicken will be done when 165 degrees, juices from the chicken should be clear. Drain chicken on a wire rack resting on a baking sheet.
Spicy Buffalo Wing Sauce
- While the chicken is cooking prepare the sauce by combining the hot sauce, butter, vinegar, jalapeno slices, and ground black pepper in a small pot.
- The sauce will be done when all of the butter has been melted. Whisk the sauce together so it forms an emulsification.
Toss the Wings
- When you are ready to serve the wings, place several of them into a bowl, add a ladle or two of sauce, and toss the wings to coat them well.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- The key to achieving restaurant-quality wings at home is proper oil temperature. If you don't have a thermometer, test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread - it should brown in about 60 seconds when the oil is ready. For extra crispy wings, you can apply the "double-fry" method: first fry at 325°F for 8 minutes, allow to rest for 5 minutes, then fry again at 375°F for 3-4 minutes. This creates an exceptionally crispy exterior. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños before adding them to the sauce. For presentation worthy of Pluckers themselves, serve wings on a platter with celery sticks arranged around the edges and small ramekins of dressing in the corners.
