How to Make Best Hot Wings

1. In a large bowl or gallon-sized ziplock bag, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Dredge chicken wings in the flour mixture, ensuring they're fully coated.
3. In a separate shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs lightly.
4. Dip each floured wing briefly into the beaten egg, then dredge again in the flour mixture.
5. Set aside the breaded wings.
6. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over very low heat.
7. Add 1/2 cup Frank's RedHot sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the melted butter.
8. Stir gently and continuously; maintain very low heat to prevent separation. Do not boil.
9. Heat your deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
10. Fry chicken wings in a single layer for 12-13 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
11. Remove wings from fryer and drain briefly on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
12. Pour half of the Frank's RedHot sauce mixture into a large, sealable container.
13. Add the fried wings to the container; seal tightly and gently shake until wings are evenly coated.
14. Remove wings from the container and place them on a serving platter. The breading will absorb the sauce quickly.
15. Serve immediately with celery sticks and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
