Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 1 cup Rice flour
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey (optional for sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and separate them into drumettes and flats, if needed. Discard wing tips.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until well-coated, ensuring even coverage.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Fry the wings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer or pot. Cook each batch for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).

Step 6

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

Step 7

While the wings are frying, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the hot sauce, white vinegar, and honey (if using). Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Place the cooked wings in a large mixing bowl and pour the prepared Buffalo sauce over them. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite gluten-free ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.
