Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wings
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup hot pepper sauce, or to taste
Instructions
1
Combine chicken wings with apple cider vinegar, garlic salt, paprika, red pepper flakes, onion salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
2
Sprinkle flour over the chicken wings and mix until they are evenly coated. Discard any leftover marinade, ensuring the wings are free from excess sauce.
3
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), the ideal temperature for baking.
4
Heat a generous amount of shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then carefully place the chicken wings in the hot oil. Fry the chicken until it is golden and crispy, flipping them every 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
5
Transfer the fried chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), indicating that it is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes.
6
Remove the chicken from the baking sheet to a paper towel-lined platter, allowing excess moisture to be drained away.
7
Create the sauce by melting butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook minced garlic in the melted butter until it becomes translucent, about 2 minutes.
8
Stir hot sauce into the butter-garlic mixture and reduce heat to low, simmering for 5 minutes.
9
Transfer the sauce to a large bowl and add the fried chicken wings, turning them to coat evenly. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the wings to serve and enjoy.
