Chicken Wings

Spicy Sauce

Method

Prepare Chicken Wings

  1. 1

    Marinate the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure all wings are coated evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare for Frying

    Remove the wings from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Dredge each wing in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour.

Make Spicy Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Then, add the hot sauce, honey, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and soy sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Fry the Wings

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Wings

    Carefully add the dredged chicken wings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

  3. 6

    Coat with Sauce

    Once all the wings are fried, place them in a large bowl and pour the spicy sauce over them. Toss to coat the wings evenly in the sauce.

Serve

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the crispy chicken wings hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
