Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- Start by preparing the chicken wings. Split them in half at the knuckle to make them easier to cook and eat.
-
Heat the Oil:
- Fill a deep fryer with peanut oil. It’s best to do this outside because it can get messy. Heat the oil to the appropriate temperature.
Tip: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches about 375°F (190°C) for perfectly crispy wings.
-
Fry the Wings:
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken wings in the fryer basket. Lower them into the hot oil and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Tip: Be sure not to overcrowd the fryer, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy wings.
-
Coat with Hot Sauce:
- While the wings are frying, pour the hot sauce into a large freezer bag. Once the wings are done cooking, carefully transfer them to the bag with the hot sauce.
-
Shake to Coat:
- Seal the bag and shake it gently to coat the wings evenly with the hot sauce. The spicy aroma will make your mouth water!
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Transfer the hot chicken wings to a serving platter and dig in! These wings are perfect for game day, parties, or anytime you’re craving something spicy and delicious.
Serving Suggestions:
- Enjoy these hot chicken wings as a snack or appetizer.
- Pair them with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and your favorite dipping sauce for a classic buffalo wing experience.
- Serve them alongside side dishes like coleslaw, potato salad, or french fries to make it a complete meal.
Tips for Success:
- Use caution when working with hot oil, and always fry in a well-ventilated area.
