Description
Deliciously crispy buffalo chicken wings, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- ¼ cup yellow mustard
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl. Add mustard and buffalo sauce. Toss to coat.
- To a separate bowl, add flour. Toss each wing in the flour to coat. Shake off any excess breading and place onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Fill a large pot with vegetable oil until it reaches halfway up the pot. Heat the pot until the oil reaches 375°F, using a thermometer to check the temperature. While the oil is heating, set a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
- Working 2-3 wings at a time to maintain the oil temperature, add the wings to the hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
- Carefully remove the wings from the oil and place them on the wire rack.
- Bring the oil temperature back up to 375°F. Once hot enough, place the fried wings back into the oil for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the oil and set on the wire rack to allow excess oil to drain off as you make the sauce.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add honey, lemon juice, and salt. Stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place the wings into a large bowl.
- Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
- Serve with homemade ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure to monitor the oil temperature while frying for best results.
- Homemade ranch dressing pairs perfectly with these wings.
