Hooters Buffalo Chicken Wings
Recipe Courtesy Of Just Me Cookin
 Ingredients:
Vegetable oil (for frying )
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 chicken wing pieces
On the side
Bleu cheese dressing
Celery sticks
Directions:
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. 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 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 of 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, then shake. Serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side

This is one of my favorite snacks for parties, I found this recipe to hold it own against the higher priced wing appetizers served at local bars and grills. There are many variations of this recipe put out by others and mine might mirror some of them, but this is my version that I have never written down until now. You can experiment with other sauces from FRANK’S RedHot® or other brands, but I have always found that FRANK’S RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce to be the best for wings.
