1
90 MINS BEFORE GAME TIME:
-
2
Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a large bowl using a wire wisk to blend the flours well.
-
3
If the wings are frozen, defrost and dry them very well with paper towels.
-
4
Toss the wings with the flour mixture, coating each wing evenly.
-
5
Put the wings in the refrigerator for 60 to 90 minutes. (This will help the breading to stick to the wings when fried.)
-
6
30 MINS BEFORE GAME TIME:
-
7
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees.
-
8
Put as many wings into the hot oil as will fit comfortably so they are still covered entirely by the oil.
-
9
Fry for 10 to 15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown. (10 mins works for me).
-
10
Remove the wings from the oil to a paper towel to drain (just don't let them sit too long, because you want to serve the wings hot).
-
11
Repeat the frying process as needed until all wings are cooked.
-
12
While the wings are frying, melt butter in a small sauce pan and stir in hot sauce, ground pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer over very low heat just enough to keep warm until ready to use.
-
13
When wings are done put them in a large serving bowl and pour the warm sauce over them, coating evenly (if it has a lid you can cover and shake).
-
14
Serve with a small bowl of Bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks.
