Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare for Frying: Heat peanut oil in a deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan to 400°F (200°C). Ensure you have enough oil to fully submerge the chicken. Line a large bowl with paper towels to drain the fried wings. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Batter Up: In a mixing bowl, whisk together one bottle of hot sauce, eggs, and water until the mixture is smooth and consistent. In a separate bowl, place the self-rising flour. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Season and Coat: Season the chicken wings and drummettes generously with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Dip each piece of chicken into the hot sauce mixture, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Then, dredge the chicken in the flour, ensuring it's fully coated on all sides. Place the coated chicken on a clean plate. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Fry to Golden Perfection: Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer, carefully lower the chicken into the hot oil. Fry until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is a beautiful golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes per batch. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). (25 minutes)

05

Step

Drain and Rest: Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it in the bowl lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season lightly with salt while still hot. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Hot Sauce Glaze: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the remaining bottle of hot sauce and the butter. Whisk continuously until the butter is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and emulsified. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Toss and Serve: Remove the paper towels from the bowl containing the fried chicken. Pour the hot butter sauce over the chicken and toss gently but thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated in the luscious, fiery glaze. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. (2 minutes)

For extra crispy wings, consider double-dredging the chicken in the flour.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your spice preference. Some like it hotter than others!
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can use all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup.
For a tangier flavor, add a tablespoon of vinegar to the hot sauce butter mixture.
