How to cook deliciously - Deep-Fried Hot Wings and Drumettes

1 . Stage

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large bowl with paper towels.

2 . Stage

Whisk one bottle hot sauce, eggs, and water together in a bowl until smooth. Place flour into another bowl.

3 . Stage

Season chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dip one piece into hot sauce mixture, then lift up so excess liquid drips back into the bowl. Toss in flour to coat on both sides, then place onto a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.

4 . Stage

Working in batches, fry chicken in hot oil until meat is no longer pink at the bone and skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain in the lined bowl and season again with salt.

5 . Stage

Heat remaining hot sauce and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until butter melts. Whisk until smooth.

6 . Stage

Remove paper towels from the bowl and pour butter sauce over chicken; toss to coat.
