Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken Wings
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove any excess moisture as this will help to achieve a crispy skin when frying.
- 2
Season the Wings
In a large bowl, combine the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle and turn golden brown.
- 4
Fry the Wings
Carefully add the seasoned chicken wings to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the wings and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 5
Make the Buffalo Sauce
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the hot sauce and unsalted butter. Stir until the butter has melted and the sauce is well mixed. Remove from heat.
- 6
Coat the Wings
In a large mixing bowl, toss the fried wings with the buffalo sauce until they are evenly coated.
