Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 cups vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup hot sauce
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings. If they are whole, separate them into drumettes and flats, discarding the wing tip if desired.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until evenly coated. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to help the coating adhere.

Step 3

In a deep, heavy skillet or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Ensure you use enough oil to fully submerge the wings.

Step 4

Carefully lower the wings into the hot oil in small batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the hot sauce and honey, blending well until smooth and heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Place the fried wings in a large mixing bowl and pour the hot sauce mixture over them. Toss until the wings are fully coated in the sauce.

Step 7

Serve immediately with celery sticks and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, if desired.
