These Fried Hot Wings are bringing the heat! They are zesty and have plenty of spice! Once you try these wings, you will be saying goodbye to your favorite wing restaurant.
They look super hot right? Well, they kinda are. At least at first, but they aren't too bad. Things wings must be fried, sauce applied and then baked. When you take the wings out of the oven, they will be hot and tangy. By the time they cool off enough for you to eat, the spiciness calms down and they are outstanding!

Steps to make the wings:
Season chicken with seasoned salt, garlic salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
In a Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet, fry the chicken for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Heat your oven to 375 degrees.
While the wings are frying, in a skillet add Frank's Hot sauce, one stick of butter, Louisiana hot sauce, and sugar. Heat stirring occasionally until butter is melted and mixed throughout the sauce.
Steps to make the Hot Wings:
Once the wings are done frying, remove them from the fryer and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Add wings to a bowl, pour the sauce over the chicken, and toss chicken together until the sauce is evenly coated over the wings.
Place wings on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake wings for 10-15 minutes or until they start to become crispy.
I only used 10 douses of Louisiana hot sauce since the Franks Red Hot sauce is a hot sauce and cayenne pepper blend. Use more if you dare lol
I prefer to eat wings that pack a punch but don't give me a headache or have me drinking milk between every bite so you won't have that issue with these wings.

Frequently Asked Questions:
It's best to season the wings before frying them. It's even better to marinate them for about an hour prior to frying them.
Vegetable oil was used to fry the wings.
Yes you can, but the sauce sticks better when they are fried with the flour. However, I have made them both ways so it comes down to personal preference.
