What you’ll need:

Chicken Wings

• Twelve whole chicken wings
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• Cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon (for a little kick)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable Oil (for Frying)

Wingstop Classic Sauce –

• 1 cup unsalted Butter (melted)
• 1/4 cup hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot or any other brand you prefer)
• White vinegar, 1 tablespoon
• Half a teaspoon of garlic powder
• Smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions:

1. Preparation of Chicken Wings

Prepare your wings first. If you are using whole chicken wings, make sure that they are separated into flat and drumette sections. If you wish, you can also save these tips to make homemade chicken broth.

• To ensure that the coating and seasoning adhere better, pat the wings with a paper towel to dry them.
• To add a bit of heat, season the wings with a generous amount of salt, pepper and garlic powder. Also, sprinkle on some onion powder, cayenne, paprika or a mixture. The seasoning should be massaged into the meat evenly.

2. Coat the wings:

To get that extra crispy texture, you will want to lightly coat the wings with flour.

• Place the flour into a shallow bowl. If you want a stronger flavour, add more cayenne, paprika or garlic powder.
• The flour will give the wings a thin, even coat. Shake off excess flour. The thinnest layer possible is what you want to achieve for the frying.

3. Fry the Wings

Fry it!

• Oil in a large pot or deep fryer should be heated on medium-high heat. You want to aim for 350degF (175degC). You can test the oil without a thermometer by dropping a small slice of bread into it. The oil will be ready if it turns brown in 30 seconds.
• Avoid overcrowding the oil to prevent the wings from becoming soggy. Frying for 8-10 mins, rotating them to ensure even cooking. The wings should be crispy and golden brown.
• To remove excess oil, drain the wings onto a plate lined with paper towels.

4. Wingstop Classic Sauce:

You can make the sauce while your wings are cooking. This will bring these wings to a whole new level.

• Melt the Butter in a small pan over medium heat.
• Stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, smoked pepper, vinegar and paprika. Allow the sauce to simmer for approximately 2-3 minutes. This will allow the flavours to blend.
• Add more hot sauce or even paprika to your taste if you want a stronger kick.

5. Toss wings in sauce:

When your wings are golden and crispy, it is time to cover them with the sauce.

• Pour the sauce over the wings and place them in a large dish.
• Then, coat each wing evenly with the sauce. Do not be afraid to get them saucy and smothered!

6. Enjoy and Serve:

Wingstop Classic Wings is ready to serve you!

• Garnish the dish with parsley (optional) to add colour and freshness.
• If desired, serve with celery and ranch or blue cheese dressing to dip.

How to make perfect wings:

• To get extra crispy wings, dry the chicken first. The crispier the wings will be, the less moisture they have.
• Double Fry: To get extra crunch from your wings, you can fry them once, take them out of the oil and let them sit for a few minutes. For an extra crispy outer layer, you can fry the wings for a second time for 2-3 minutes.
• Add more cayenne or your favourite hot pepper sauce to adjust the level of spice. Add a bit of honey to give it a sweeter taste.
• You can also bake them in the oven for 35-40 mins at 400degF.

Healthier Option:

Try baking these wings instead of frying them. You can bake the wings on a rack with a thin layer of olive for 30-40 minutes at 400degF, turning them halfway through. You can still get crispy wings with less oil.
