Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup butter
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 pinch garlic powder
• 10 chicken wings
• ¼ teaspoon ground paprika
• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
• ¼ cup hot sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a small bowl.

Step 2

Place chicken wings in a single layer in a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle flour mixture over top and toss until wings are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Step 3

Add about 1 inch oil to a deep, heavy skillet; heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (The oil should be just enough to cover wings entirely.)

Step 4

While the oil is coming to temperature, combine butter, hot sauce, pepper, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook and stir until butter is melted and mixture is thoroughly blended. Remove from the heat and reserve for serving.

Step 5

Fry coated wings in the hot oil for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they begin to crisp and turn brown. Maintain the oil temperature while cooking.

Step 6

Remove wings from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 7

Transfer wings to a platter and drizzle hot sauce over top; or mix wings and hot sauce in a bowl until coated. Serve.
