best chicken wings evah

best hot wings evah. no kidding, these hot wings are the best i’ve eaten. i kept it traditional with this super simple recipe - & you don’t need a dressing or dipping sauce ~ eat 'em as-is. literally 3 ingredients: wings, franks hot sauce & butter. be sure to buy good wings. mine came from falling sky farms stand at the saturday morning farmers market in argenta/nlr. enough wings to feed 4 or 2 hungries with some good leftovers. you’ve gotta do this. here’s how:

you’ll need

5 bags falling sky farms chicken wings (approx 5 lbs. total)
1 cup franks hot sauce (not wing sauce)
1 stick salted butter
you’ll do:

heat canola oil to 375℉ in a mini deep fryer or in a dutch oven with a thermometer.

cut wings into 3 parts. cut wing tip off & save for stock. cut chicken wing at the joint so you will have the 2 wing pieces. place on a large tray or cutting board. dry the pieces with a paper towel. salt & pepper.

gently melt the butter & hot sauce mixture stove top in a small sauce pan.

fry about 6 wings at a time. you don’t want the oil temp to drop, so, keep the batches small.

dry for 6 minutes. remove and place on a plate lined with a couple paper towels.

in a large bowl take about ¼ cup of the warm hot sauce & butter mixture, add wings & toss. the wings should absorb all the sauce in the bowl as you mix. mix well. be patient. if there is sauce left in the bowl, use less for the next batch. if any of the wings have a dry spots add more sauce - by 1 teaspoon at a time. point is, do not drown the wings, yo.

serve.

repeat.
