Got a hankering for wings. It’s easier than you think with this straightforward and delicious recipe.

Ingredients

Scale

Wings

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • Peanut oil (or other high temperature oil) for frying
  • Green onions, sliced for garnish

Sauce

  • 8 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry.
  2. Remove the wing tips and separate the drumette and the wingette at the joint.
  3. Mix together the flour, salt, and cayenne in a large mixing bowl. Add the wings and coat them well with the flour mixture. Set them aside.
  4. Heat the peanut oil in a large cast iron pot to 375˚ F. Use a pot large enough to immerse the wings in the oil for deep frying.
  5. Once the oil has reached 375˚ F add chicken wings in small batches; do not overcrowd the pot.
  6. Deep fry each batch for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove each batch to drain on paper towels or set them on a rack over a sheet tray to cool.
  8. While the wings are frying prep the sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan.
  9. Bring the sauce to a simmer over low heat until the butter melts.
  10. Simmer for 5 minutes and remove from the heat.
  11. Place the cooled wings in a large bowl and add as much sauce as needed to coat the wings.
  12. Reserve any leftover sauce for dipping.

Notes

Kick your sauce up a notch by adding other ingredients, honey, molasses, gochuchang, chili crisp, soy sauce, Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, homemade ranch dressing, bleu cheese, etc. Follow your tastebuds lead!
