In a medium bowl, mix together baking powder, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.

Deep Fry method:

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.

Pat wings dry and toss them in seasoning mixture until each wing is evenly coated.

Place oil in a large oven safe Dutch oven, about 1-2 inches, and heat over medium-high heat until temperature of oil reads 375º.

Once temperature is reached, add wings into oil and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Be sure to keep temperature around 375º. The addition of the chicken will lower the temperature.

Once golden brown, using a slotted spoon or a mesh strainer, transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet and let rest.

Toss in buffalo sauce and Enjoy!

For sauce:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine Frank’s Red Hot, butter, white vinegar, cayenne, Worcestershire, garlic powder and paprika. Whisk together as butter melts until ingredients fully combine. Bring to a simmer.

When mixture reaches a simmer, remove from heat. Add salt to taste.
