Ingredients

  • 1 cup Gluten Free Flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper less if you don't love spicy
  • teaspoons garlic powder
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 pounds chicken wingettes or chicken wings, with joints removed
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • ½ cup salted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup Buffalo Sauce (store-bought or click for recipe)
  • 3 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  • In a large ziplock bag, combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to fully combine.
    1 cup Gluten Free Flour, 1 tablespoon ground paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, 1½ teaspoons garlic powder, Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Add in the chicken wings about 10 at a time, sealing and shaking to fully coat the wings in the flour mixture. Remove wings from the mixture and place on a paper plate. Repeat with all the wings until they are all fully coated in the flour mixture. Place wings in the fridge for 10-30 minutes; this will help the flour to fully adhere to the wings.

  • While the wings chill in the fridge, heat 3 inches of oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven to 360°F.
    Vegetable oil
  • Fry the wings in batches of 10 for 10-15 minutes, or until the wings are crispy, browned, and fully cooked through. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  • When you start frying your last batch of wings, start your sauce. Heat the butter, hot sauce, and honey or medium/high heat in a small sauce pan. Stir while you cook. Once bubbling, reduce to simmer and continue cooking.

  • Use a whisk to stir the sauce often while cooking, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Once all the wings are done and drained of oil, add them all to a large bowl and toss in the hot sauce.
  • Serve immediately, with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
