Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 tbsp Hot sauce (for marinade)
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Cornstarch
• 4 cups Oil (for frying, if applicable)
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Hot sauce (for glaze)
• 2 tbsp Honey

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings. If needed, separate drumettes and flats and discard the wing tips.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, 2 tbsp hot sauce, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they're fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 3

When ready to cook, drain the wings from the marinade and allow them to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, mix together flour, cornstarch, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

Step 5

Dredge each wing in the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated and shaking off any excess flour. Place the wings on a rack or baking sheet to allow the coating to set for 10 minutes.

Step 6

If frying: Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry the wings in batches, about 6-7 minutes each, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Step 7

If baking: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and lightly spray them with cooking oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.

Step 8

While the wings are cooking, prepare the glaze by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup hot sauce and 2 tbsp honey. Mix until well combined and heated through.

Step 9

Toss the cooked wings in the hot glaze until evenly coated. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and celery sticks on the side.
