Ingredients:
– 2 pounds of chicken wings
– 1 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1 teaspoon of paprika
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of black pepper
– 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust according to your spice preference)
– Vegetable oil for frying

Sauce:
– 1/2 cup of hot sauce
– 1/4 cup of melted butter
– 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
– 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
– 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust according to your spice preference)

Instructions:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set it aside. This will help make your hot wings crispy.

2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix them well.

3. Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry using a paper towel. It is important to remove any excess moisture to ensure a crispy texture.

4. Toss the chicken wings into the flour mixture and coat them evenly. Shake off any excess flour.

5. In a large skillet or deep-fryer, heat about two inches of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). The oil should be hot but not smoking.

6. Carefully place the chicken wings into the hot oil using tongs, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

7. Once cooked, transfer the chicken wings onto the wire rack in the preheated oven. Bake them for an additional 15-20 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.

8. While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce by combining the hot sauce, melted butter, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan. Heat the sauce over medium heat until it simmers, stirring occasionally.

9. Once the chicken wings are finished baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them into a large mixing bowl.

10. Pour the prepared sauce over the wings and toss them gently until they are coated evenly. For those who prefer milder wings, you can use a smaller amount of sauce or dilute it with melted butter.

11. Serve the hot wings immediately with your choice of dipping sauces, such as ranch or blue cheese, and celery sticks.

These homemade hot wings are guaranteed to be a hit at any gathering. The combination of crispy chicken wings with the spicy yet flavorful sauce makes for an irresistible dish. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different spice levels and seasonings to suit your preferences. So, go ahead and try your hand at creating these delicious hot wings; your taste buds will thank you!
