HOOTER’S BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

HOOTER’S BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

¼ cup butter
¼ cup Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce
dash ground pepper
dash garlic powder
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp. paprika
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
¼ tsp. salt
10 chicken wing pieces
vegetable oil for frying

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375^. You want just enough oil to cover the wings entirely; an inch or so deep at least.

Combine the butter, hot sauce, ground pepper, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well blended.

Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne powder, and salt in a small bowl. If wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them. Put the wings in a large bowl and sprinkle the flour mixture over them, coating each wing evenly. Put the wings in the refrigerator 60-90 minutes. This will help the breading to stick to the wings when fried.

Put all the wings in the hot oil and fry 10-15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown. Remove from oil to a paper towel to drain. Don’t let them sit to long, because you want to serve them hot. Quickly put the wings in a large bowl. Add the hot sauce and stir, coating all of the wings evenly.

Serve with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.
