Ingredients

For the Chicken Wings:

2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Sweet & Hot Buffalo Sauce:

1/2 cup Sweet & Hot Dipping Sauce

1/3 cup unsalted butter

1 tablespoon white vinegar

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon smoke paprika

For Serving:

Blue cheese dressing

Celery and carrot sticks

Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

To ensure even coating, dredge the chicken wings in the flour mixture. First, coat them in the flour mixture, making sure they are evenly coated. Then, dip the chicken in milk and dredge it for a second time in the flour mixture. Finally, shake off any excess flour.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy pot to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Carefully add the chicken wings to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 12-15 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Step 5

In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the Sweet & Hot Dipping Sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for a few minutes, stirring well to combine.

Step 6

Toss the fried chicken wings in the Sweet & Hot Buffalo sauce until they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Serve your Buffalo Chicken Wings hot with blue cheese dressing and celery and carrot sticks on the side.
