Crispy Restaurant-Style Buffalo Chicken Wings

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Restaurant-Style Buffalo Chicken Wings.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious chicken wings, grab a large bowl and whisk together the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt until everything is nicely blended.

2. Step 2

   Next, add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them gently, ensuring each wing is evenly coated in the flavorful flour mixture.

3. Step 3

   Once coated, transfer the wings to a 9x13-inch glass baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.

4. Step 4

   Cover the dish and pop it in the refrigerator for about 1 to 1.

5. Step 5

   5 hours.

6. Step 6

   This step is crucial as it helps the coating set, making your wings extra crispy when cooked.

7. Step 7

   While the wings are chilling, let’s prepare the mouthwatering sauce.

8. Step 8

   In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, hot sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder.

9. Step 9

   Stir the mixture gently until the butter melts and all the ingredients meld together beautifully.

10. Step 10

    Once done, remove it from the heat and set it aside for later.

11. Step 11

    Now, it’s time to fry those wings! In a deep, heavy skillet, pour in about an inch of vegetable oil and heat it to 375°F (190°C).

12. Step 12

    You want the oil deep enough to fully submerge the wings, ensuring they cook evenly.

13. Step 13

    When the oil is hot, carefully add the coated wings in batches, frying them for about 10 to 15 minutes.

14. Step 14

    Keep an eye on them as they cook; you’re looking for that perfect crispy, golden-brown finish.

15. Step 15

    Once they’re done, remove the wings from the oil and let them drain on paper towels or a wire rack to get rid of any excess oil.

16. Step 16

    Finally, it’s time to serve! Transfer the crispy wings to a serving platter and drizzle the prepared hot sauce over the top for a beautiful presentation.

17. Step 17

    If you prefer, you can toss the wings in a bowl with the hot sauce until they’re fully coated, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavor.
