Ingredients
  

Chicken Wings
  • 2 pounds Chicken wings (flats and drums)
For the Dredge
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 0.5 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
For the Marinade
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
For the Glaze
  • 0.5 cup Honey
  • 0.25 cup Hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
For Frying
  • Oil as needed Oil for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the wings dry with paper towels.
  2. Toss the wings in buttermilk with a few shakes of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let them sit for 20 minutes.
  3. Mix flour and cornstarch in a bowl, then season it well.
  4. Coat the wings in the flour mixture and press it in a little so it sticks.
Cooking
  1. Heat the oil to about 350°F. Fry the wings in batches for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Move the fried wings to a rack to keep crisp.
Glazing
  1. In a small pan, warm honey, butter, and hot sauce until smooth.
  2. Toss the fried wings in a big bowl, pour the glaze over, and toss until they are glossy and sticky.

Notes

For a lighter version, try making the wings in an air fryer. Ensure to dry the wings thoroughly before cooking to maintain crispiness.
