Crispy Fried Garlic Hot Wings

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wings, tips removed, drumettes and flats separated
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
• 1/4 cup butter
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon vinegar

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Place the chicken wings in a separate bowl and pour the buttermilk over them, ensuring each piece is coated. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the wings from the buttermilk and dredge them in the flour mixture until they are completely coated.
5. Fry the wings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes per side.
6. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the hot sauce, honey, and vinegar, and stir to combine.
7. Toss the fried wings in the sauce until they are well coated.
8. Serve hot.
