Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • Vegetable oil for frying (about 3 to 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo-style hot sauce
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl. Beat the eggs with the milk in a separate shallow bowl. Dip each wing in the egg wash, then press firmly into the flour mixture. Rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry wings in batches of 4 to 5 for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until deep golden and the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C). Return oil to 350°F (175°C) between batches.
  3. Combine the hot sauce, melted butter, honey, and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir for 2 minutes until smooth and glossy.
  4. Transfer the hot wings to a large bowl, pour the glaze over the top, toss for 30 seconds until fully coated, arrange on a platter, and finish with sliced scallion greens.

Notes

These wings are best sauced and eaten right away. If you are making them for a group, keep the fried wings on a wire rack in a 250°F (120°C) oven for up to 20 minutes while you finish frying the rest, then toss everything in the glaze at once. The cayenne level here is medium heat; adjust it to your crowd before you start.
