INGREDIENTS:

2 lbs chicken wings

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)

1/4 cup honey

Vegetable oil (for frying)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then dredge them in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken wings in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes per batch. Remove the wings from the oil and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain.

In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, hot sauce, and honey.

Dip each fried chicken wing into the buttery hot sauce mixture, making sure to coat it evenly. Place the coated wings back on the wire rack.

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and crispy.

Serve the crispy chicken wings hot, with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks on the side.
