Ingredients
  

For the Wings:
  • 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken wings (flats and drums separated)
  • 1 cup Buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
For Frying:
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Equipment

  • Large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer
  • Thermometer
  • Slotted spoon
  • Mixing bowl
  • Paper towels

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Start by rinsing the chicken wings under cold water. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. Place the wings in a large mixing bowl. Season them generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well to ensure they are evenly coated.
  3. In your heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, pour enough vegetable oil to submerge the wings, about 3 to 4 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
  4. Carefully add the wings to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the wings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, pour the Buffalo sauce over the hot wings. Toss gently until well-coated.
  7. Transfer the sauced wings to a serving platter and enjoy hot!

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, ensure they are thoroughly dried before frying.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes for best results.
