Hooters-style Buffalo Wings

Servings: 2- 4 servings.

Vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup Louisiana hot sauce or other
1 dash ground pepper
1 dash garlic powder
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 chicken pieces
Bleu cheese salad dressing & celery sticks

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375º You want just enough oil to cover the wings
entirely -- an inch or so deep at least. Combine the butter, hot sauce,
ground pepper, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat
until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well blended. Combine the
flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a small bowl. If the wings are
frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them.Put the wings into a large bowl and
sprinkle the flour mixture over them, coating each wing evenly. Put the
wings in the refrigerator for 60 to 90 minutes. (This will help the breading
to stick to the wings when fried.) Put all the wings into the hot oil and
fry them for 10 to 15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn
dark brown. Remove the wings from the oil to a paper towel to drain. But don
t let them sit too long, because you want to serve the wings hot.Quickly put
the wings into a large bowl. Add the hot sauce and stir, coating all the
wings evenly. You could also use a large
plastic container with a lid for this. Put all the wings inside the
container, add the sauce, put on the lid, and then shake. Serve with Bleu
cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.
