If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!! These hot wings might test you on that saying. I was honestly afraid when I tasted the sauce mid way through cooking that they were going to be too hot, but when I tasted one of the finished wings (with some blue cheese dip), it was just perfect. They might be too hot if you don’t like spicy, but if that were the case, why would you want to eat hot wings??? They were the kind of hot that didn’t burn your lips, instead I think I said, “whoa, these are a little hot…..as I’m reaching for another one.” That’s a good kind of hot!
Hot wings are traditionally served with Blue Cheese Dressing/Dip, which is exactly what I did. I used the same Buttermilk Blue Cheese dressing that I served with my Wedge Salad. You can find the recipe here.
- 24 chicken wing/drumette pieces
- 2 cups canola oil (for frying wings)
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder

- Blue Cheese dressing (for serving)

- ½ cup butter (one cube)
- 1 cup Franks Red Hot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce

- Heat oil in large deep frying pan.
- In large zip lock baggie, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Add chicken to baggie and shake well to coat chicken pieces.
- Fry chicken pieces in hot oil (it should be about 375*), in two batches.
