American · Appetizer · 40 min total

Crispy fried chicken wings coated in a tangy, spicy buffalo sauce, perfect for game day or any gathering.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Dredge wings in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
2. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry wings in batches for 10-12 minutes until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, and vinegar. Add fried wings and toss to coat evenly.
4. Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, let floured wings rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before frying.
• Adjust cayenne in the flour or hot sauce to control heat level.
• Leftover wings can be reheated in an air fryer at 375°F for 5 minutes.
