Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

2. Coat the Wings

In a large bowl, mix flour and paprika. Dredge the wings in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

4. Fry the Wings

Fry the wings in batches for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

5. Make the Sauce

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper. Heat gently until combined.

6. Toss and Coat

Place the fried wings in a large bowl. Pour the Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.

7. Serve

Serve hot with celery sticks and blue cheese dip.
