Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 chicken wings (16 pieces)
1 quart oil ( canola, vegetable, or peanut )

1 1/2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.

  • Meanwhile, in a small separate saucepan, combine the hot sauce, butter, and vinegar over low heat until the butter melts.
  • Taste the sauce to see if it's to your liking. If you'd like to reduce the heat of the sauce, feel free to add more butter, a little water, or some brown sugar. To increase the heat, add more hot sauce. Add salt if needed.
  • Fry the wings in 2 to 3 batches for 12 to 15 minutes per batch, or until crispy and cooked through. Give the oil time to reheat before frying the next batch to ensure all of the wings are crispy.
  • Toss the wings in a bowl with the warm sauce.
  • Serve with blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, or garlic Parmesan dip. Enjoy.
