- 1 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce (or your favourite hot sauce)
- 1 tbsp of unsalted butter
- Honey 1 tbsp
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Half a teaspoon of garlic powder
Instructions:
1. Marinate the wings:
- Mix buttermilk in a bowl with hot sauce, garlic powder, onion, smoked paprika and cayenne. Add salt and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight to get the best flavour. For best results, cover and refrigerate at least one hour or overnight.
2. Prepare the Coating
- Mix flour with garlic powder, onion, paprika and cayenne in a shallow dish. Add salt and black pepper.
3. Coat the wings:
- Buttermilk is a great way to remove excess liquid from wings. Coat the wings well with the flour mixture. Dip the wings in the flour and buttermilk mixture again for extra crunch.
4. Fry the Wings
- Heat oil to 350degF (174degC) in a saucepan. Fry the wings in vegetable oil for 8-10 mins until they are golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should be 165degF (74.2degC). Drain on a paper towel.
5. How to make the Wing Sauce
- Combine Frank’s RedHot Sauce, butter, honey and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan. Heat the sauce until the butter has melted and it is well blended. Remove from heat.
6. Toss wings in sauce:
- Pour the wing sauce on top of the fried chicken wings. Gently toss until wings are evenly coated.
7. Enjoy and Serve:
- Enjoy your wings with fries, a salad or ranch dressing.
How to make perfect wings:
- Double coating for extra crunch: Dip wings twice in buttermilk, then flour for a crispy exterior.
- Spice it up: Increase the heat by adding cayenne pepper or hot sauce to your marinade or sauce.
- Oven-Baked Options: For a healthier option, bake wings at 400degF for 25-30 mins. Flipping them halfway through.
