How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wings

  1. Preheat your fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add the chicken wings to the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Carefully place the wings in the preheated fryer, ensuring not to overcrowd the basket. Fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. While the wings are frying, prepare the buffalo sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup hot sauce (Frank's RedHot is recommended), 1/4 cup butter, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  7. Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the fryer and immediately toss them in the buffalo sauce until they are evenly coated.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (ranch or blue cheese are classic choices) and celery or carrot sticks.
