Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, paprika, salt and cayenne pepper.

2. Place the defrosted or fresh wings in the bowl and gently coat each one evenly.

3. Place the bowl of wings in the refrigerator for 60 to 90 minutes to help the mixture stick to the wings during frying.

4. Heat oil to 375 degrees in a deep fryer or deep pan. The oil should just cover the wings when they go in, so use at least an inch or two.

5. In a small pan, mix hot sauce, butter, pepper and garlic powder. Mix over low heat until the butter is melted and the sauce is mixed well.

6. Place all of the wings in the oil and fry for 10 to 15 minutes until some part of the wings turn a dark brown. Remove from heat and blot on paper towels to remove excess oil.

7. In a large covered container, place the sauce and the wings. Shake to coat evenly.

8. Serve with sauce on the side, blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
