Equipment

  • Deep Fryer
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Tongs
  • Paper Towels
  • Kitchen Thermometer
  • Wire Cooling Rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb CHICKEN WINGS
  • 1/2 cup ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 2 tbsp CHEDDAR CHEESE POWDER
  • 1 tsp CAYENNE PEPPER
  • 1 tsp CHILI POWDER
  • 1 tsp GARLIC POWDER
  • 1/2 tsp ONION POWDER
  • 1/2 tsp SALT
  • 1/4 cup HOT SAUCE
  • 2 tbsp MELTED BUTTER
  • 4 cups VEGETABLE OIL

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Dry your chicken wings with a towel. Moisture prevents the flour from sticking. Place the wings on a clean plate. Ensure they are at room temperature.

Step 2:

  • Mix the flour and spices together. Use a large mixing bowl for this. Add the cheese powder and cayenne now. Stir the dry mix very well.

Step 3:

  • Toss the wings in the flour mix. Press the flour into the skin firmly. Make sure every spot is covered. Shake off any extra loose flour.

Step 4:

  • Let the breaded wings rest now. Place them in the fridge for ten minutes. This helps the coating stay on. The flour will become a bit sticky.

Step 5:

  • Heat your cooking oil to high heat. It should reach three hundred seventy-five degrees. Use a thermometer to check the heat. Hot oil makes the wings crispy.

Step 6:

  • Drop the wings into the hot oil. Do not crowd the deep fryer. Cook them in small batches instead. Fry for about ten total minutes.

Step 7:

  • Remove the wings when they are golden. Place them on a wire rack. Let the extra oil drip away. They should look dark and crunchy.

Step 8:

  • Whisk the hot sauce and melted butter. Use a small bowl for this task. Pour the sauce over the hot wings. Toss them gently to coat everything.

Notes

Use tiny chicken wings for this recipe. They cook faster and stay crispy.
Do not skip the fridge resting step. It keeps the breading from falling off.
Make sure the oil is very hot. Cold oil makes the wings greasy.
Double the cayenne for extra spicy wings. Use mild sauce for kids.
Always serve the wings immediately after saucing. This preserves the crunch.
Check the meat temperature with a probe. Safety is very important here.
