Preparation

Marinate the Wings
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, hot pepper sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the wings thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Prepare for Frying
Take the marinated wings out of the refrigerator. In a separate bowl, mix together the baking powder and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the wings and toss to ensure they are evenly coated.

Fry the Wings
Carefully add the wings to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the wings and drain them on paper towels.
