Plastic wrap
Large bowl
Saucepan
- 1 1/2 cups Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
- 1 teaspoon superfine sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Step 1: Marinate the Wings
In a large bowl, combine the garlic paste, smoked paprika, ground cayenne pepper, and cracked black pepper. Coat the chicken wings thoroughly in this mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least one hour in the fridge. For maximum flavor, marinate overnight.
Step 2: Prepare the Hot Sauce
While the wings are marinating, let’s prepare the hot sauce. In a saucepan, mix Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and superfine sugar. Heat on medium until the mixture begins to simmer. Stir in the butter until fully melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3: Heat the Oil
Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large pot to a depth of about 2-3 inches. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread in it. If it sizzles and turns golden brown in 60 seconds, the oil is ready.
- Marinate Longer: The longer you marinate the wings, the more flavorful they’ll be. Overnight marination is best.
- Oil Temperature: Use a thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature, which is crucial for crispy wings.
- Pat Dry: Before frying, pat the wings dry with paper towels. Moisture can cause oil splatter.
- Butter in Sauce: Don’t rush melting the butter in the sauce; low heat ensures the sauce doesn’t break.
- Single Layer Frying: Fry wings in a single layer to avoid sticking and uneven cooking.
