Ingredients

2 eggs
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup hot pepper sauce, room temperature
1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 lb chicken wings
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon packed brown sugar

Steps

1

Line 15x10x1-inch pan with paper towels and a cooling rack.
2

In small bowl, beat eggs, water and 1 tablespoon of the hot pepper sauce with whisk. In shallow dish, mix flour, onion powder, salt and red pepper.
3

In 12-inch covered skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until oil reaches 350°F. Working in 2 batches, dip wings into egg mixture; shake off excess egg mixture, and coat in flour mixture. Place in skillet; cover, and cook 5 minutes. Turn; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until browned and juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 175°F). Transfer to cooling rack; repeat with remaining wings.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix remaining 7 tablespoons hot pepper sauce, the melted butter and brown sugar. In medium bowl, gently toss cooked wings with hot pepper sauce mixture; serve with blue cheese dressing.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Frank’s™ Red Hot™ original pepper sauce is a perfect choice for the classic flavor of Buffalo wings.
tip 2
If your hot pepper sauce is cold, the butter may coagulate when added. Just warm the sauce in the microwave or saucepan over low heat before adding the butter.
tip 3
If your wings are browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium.
