Method

Preparing the Wings

  1. 1

    Clean and Season the Wings

    Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the wings in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.

  3. 3

    Fry the Wings

    Carefully add the seasoned wings to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the wings for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them and drain on paper towels.

Making the Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce, honey, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 5

    Toss the Wings

    In a large bowl, add the fried wings and pour the prepared sauce over them. Toss the wings in the sauce until they are evenly coated.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the wings to a serving platter and enjoy them hot. Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing, if desired.
