Buffalo Wings Like Hooters Food

COPYCAT HOOTERS BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt in a bowl with a lid that is large enough to fit the wings. Place wings in the bowl, cover with the lid and shake until they are all completely coated and are not stuck together. Put the wings in the refrigerator for 60-90 minutes (this will help the coating stick when fried).
• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F. You want just enough to cover the wings entirely.
• Carefully place the wings into the hot oil and fry for 10-15 minutes or until they begin to turn dark brown.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, hot pepper sauce , ground pepper and garlic powder over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well blended.
• Remove the wings from the fryer and place on a paper towel to drain. Toss the wings with the sauce in a large bowl until they are evenly coated. Serve with bleu cheese or ranch dressing, carrots and celery.

THE BEST BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• Add chicken wings to buttermilk and let marinate for at least 2-3 hours.
• While chicken marinates, add flour, seasoned salt, paprika, black pepper and garlic powder to paper bag and shake well to evenly distribute flavors.
• Dip each piece of chicken into seasoned flour thoroughly coating each piece then add piece to baking sheet to rest.
• Finish coating all chicken and let sit for 10-15 minutes until coating has set.
• While coating sets, add 2 1/2-3 inches of oil to a medium sized deep pot or deep fryer and heat over medium high heat. Also turn on oven to 275 degrees.
• This is my test for knowing when the oil is ready: Big Mama always tossed a tiny bit of flour in the oil and if it began to fry and sizzle, the oil was ready.
• Fry all pieces until golden brown and place on paper towels to drain for only 1 minute per wing before tossing in sauce.
• Whisk together hot sauce and melted butter and heat in microwave to make sure it is hot.
• Add half of sauce to another large bowl and carefully toss several wings in sauce until completely covered. Add more sauce if you like them really saucy like me then serve immediately.
• Celery and ranch or blue cheese is a nice complement.
• If not serving immediately, place in the oven to keep warm.
