ingredients
- 1 lb chicken wings (cut at joints, tips discarded)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (can use seasoned salt)
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- oil (for frying)
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1⁄4 cup hot sauce (we like Crystal or Louisiana)
- 1⁄2 - 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional, for super hot wings)
directions
- Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- Rinse and dry wings with a paper towel
- Toss wings in salt
- Toss wings with cayenne if using.
- Toss wings in flour ( a very thin layer is all that's needed).
- Check oil to see if it is ready for frying by placing a wooden spoon handle in the oil. If it bubbles, it's ready. No bubbles, not ready.
- When oil is hot, fry wings until golden brown and crispy.
- While wings are frying mix butter and hot sauce using a hand mixer in a large plastic container with lid. Use more hot sauce for hotter wings, less for milder.
- Place wings in container with lid and shake until coated.
- Return wings to frying pan for 1 minute.
- Return to sauce mixture and shake to coat.
- Serve.
