Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 stick Butter
• 1 cup Hot sauce (for coating)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings. Cut them into drumettes and wingettes, discarding the wing tips if not already done.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and hot sauce until well combined.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken wing in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and coat it again in the flour mixture. Ensure they are fully coated and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep frying pan or Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Carefully fry the chicken wings in batches for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the wings and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the hot sauce, honey, and Worcestershire sauce, and mix until fully combined and heated through.

Step 8

Place the cooked wings in a large mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.

Step 9

Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side, if desired.
