This is one of my all-time favorite buffalo, hot chicken wings recipe. It’s the one I make when I’m cooking for a large crowd of adults and kids. I adapted it from Todd Wilbur’s hooters buffalo wings recipe and just added a few tweaks. (I have a small crush on him by the way, don’t ask. It’s just a teeny, tiny one that I can’t explain so don’t ask. I said DON’T ASK OK!)
Anyway, here’s what I love about these wings: They aren’t soggy, mess-free, & bursting with flavor! You know how some wings can taste like you’re eating just chicken and hot sauce? I hate that, but honey child these wings have depth and the perfect melody of hotness and spice.
When you bite into these babies you get that light crunch sound and your fingers are left virtually clean. The sauce mixture really absorbs into the skin without making it chewy.
This is the PERFECT hot chicken wings to take to a gathering and you know what’s funny? If you sit and watch people eat them for the first time you’ll see it kinda goes like this:
1.)They take one bite of the hot buffalo wing. 2.)They then look at the wing while chewing and nodding their heads. 3.) They proceed to say “these are some good wings!”
I hope that you enjoy these wings as much as me and my peeps do! Serve these babies HOT!!!
Watch me make these delicious hot chicken wings from start to finish!
The Recipe
Hot Chicken Wings
By Divas Can Cook
Ingredients
- 20 chicken wings
- Flour Mixture
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon of paprika
- ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon of seasoning salt + more to sprinkle on chicken
- Sauce Mixture
- 1 stick of butter (unsalted)
- ½ cup of hot sauce (I use Franks)
- 2-3 dashes of black pepper
- 2-3 drop of garlic juice or garlic powder
- 1-2 teaspoons of dried celery flakes
- 1-2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 2-3 dashes of cajun seasoning (I use McCormick)
- Vegetable oil (for frying. Enough to cover wings)
Instructions
- Wash and dry chicken wings. Sprinkle chicken with seasoning salt. Set aside.
- In a bowl add flour, cayenne pepper, paprika & ½ teaspoon seasoning salt. Mix well to combine.
- Place chicken in a large ziplock bag and pour in the flour mixture. Shake the bag well to coat the chicken.
- Place coated chicken on a plate and cover with Saran wrap.
- Refrigerate for 60-90 minutes
- When wings are chilled and set. Heat oil in deep fryer to 375. Use enough oil to completely cover the chicken.
- Place the chicken into the fryer basket and fry for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. You may need to do this in two batches.
- While chicken in frying let's make the sauce! In a saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and add in hot sauce, black pepper, garlic juice, celery flakes, dried parsley, & cajun seasoning. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Keep the sauce on low heat while the wings are finishing up to keep it hot.
- When all wings are done, let them drain for a few minutes on paper towels. Next place them in a nonporous dish and pour on the hot sauce! Stir the hot wings around to absorb up all the yummy sauce. Sprinkle on some more dried parsley if desired!
- Serve HOT along with some bleu cheese or ranch dipping sauce and a few celery sticks!!!
Can these wings be cooked in a air fryer and how to do it
Thanks
These wings were so freaking good!! I absolutely love your recipes
My family and I love these wings.
One word…DELICIOUS!!
I’ve finally found my go to hot wings receipe!
My husband has a heartt condition , can I bake the wings
I bake mine……without flour.just pat wings dry place on sprayed rack on foil lined pan
Bake 250 for 30 minutes then turn up temp to 425 bake 25 minutes then turn pan 1/2
A turn and bake additional 25 minutes…..comes out crispy just like fried….
Serve with hot sauce.
Ive been making this dish for about 2-3 years now (diverting from the exact recipe now and then) and it never fails to please a crowd. to be honest all your recipes that i have tried have been deeeeelish
What deep fryer do u use?
I just made these tonight for my husband and son on Valentine’s Day. My son LOVES wings, he’s 19 years old, and doesn’t really have a favorite meal that I make. I finally hit the ball out of the ball park tonight!! Thank you Mo!
I make these wings all the time! Thank you so much! I am from Buffalo – and moved to AZ where there are pretty much NO good wings! This saved my life…and has brought yummy happy smiles to all my friends and family! You rock!!!
I made this a while ago but I am just now commenting. This recipe gets graded an “E” because it was easy and excellent!
With all of the great reviews, I will be making these wings also. Since I now know they aren’t that fiery-kinda hot, I know these are my kinda hot wangs.
I forgot to leave a comment the day I made these, but I made these Tuesday. Mo, I’m not lying when I say I was literally sucking the chicken bone dry. My boyfriend had to snatch the bones out my mouth. These were incredible. Not too spicy, not too mild, just right. And you’re right — they’re literally mess free! Thanks ! 🙂
Soooooo good! My husband can’t stop talking about them.
I found one of your videos on YouTube but tried to subscribe and found out that I had already subscribed to your page. I personally love to cook, and your website made me love it even more because of that fact that you have both the video and recipe on here. Made these wings last night, and they were delicious. Three questions… what is a good deep fryer to buy, when is your 2012 cookbook coming out, and is there a way to buy both books at one time? I appreciate you taking the time to read this, even if you don’t have time to reply.
Girl these wings were awesome. I just made them for new years eve. I will be making them again. Keep posting these great recipes.
You talk about some great wings OMG! I wanted to do hot wings but do something differ, well this is it this is the only way I do them now and my family loves them.
where did u get your deep fryer from ?? whats a good one u would recommend ? Wings look GREAT ! i cant wait to try 🙂 !
I came across your website while searching for recipes for hot wings. I can’t believe how freaking good they came out. My oldest brother always teases me about not knowing how to cook, but some things I luck up on 🙂 My brother loves hot wings and this was the first time he gave me my props for something I made. He actually told me they were “good” and not they were “alright.” I will be trying your red velvet cake tonight, been trying different recipes for almost a year and the cake always turns out horrible. Hopefully, I won’t be wasting money again for ingredients.
I did try this recipe with the hot wings maybe a month ago and I love it. I had hot wings the other night and same recipe and still so good. What I like about this recipe the wings aren’t that hot and it just bring on a different flavor than the original hot wings recipes. I have try some of the other recipes here and its all great.
I watched this on youtube and then I followed to your blog. I’m really hungry by seeing those wings.
welcome!!! Hope you try out the wings!
THIS LOOKS SO GOOD ; BUT I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD USE THIS RECIPE ON DRUMS ??
I tried this recipe tonight and my husband loves it! He finds they weren't "hot" enough but for me it's perfect! Thank you for sharing and making it look so easy!
i just made these just last night, and i made another batch using BBQ sauce. My fiancée and I LOVED them! he liked them so much that he volunteered me to cook for his parents. Needless to say, I will be using your blog to make a good impression on the soon to be in laws.

i tried this recipe tonight; I've been waiting to try it out! OMG, sooo good!!!! Thx Monique!
Let me tell yall. I am not really a wing eater. So I was actually making these for my husband. Ohhh chy' these were freakin' delicious. I love wings now, but only these wings. Monique girl you out did yo'self on these. I am now a wing lover. Monique's wings. Thanks
Hands down the best Buffalo Wing Recipe ever!
The wings were a hit at a super bowl party I brought them too even though I left out the celery flakes. The only thing I do differently is that I like my wings hotter, so I would probably use a "hotter hot sauce".
These were so good! My boyfriend and I tore these up!!!For vday i am using more of ur dishes sweet and spicy bbq ribs,baked mac n cheese (which i have tried before and loved it) sweet potatoe pie and i have to figure out a veggie…Thank U for ur blogs!
These look delicious! My husband has been bugging me asking me if we could eat chicken wings for the super bowl (since we're trying to be healthy right now) and I just kept saying no haha. Maybe I will surprise him with these babies~!! =)
yes a blond brownie is good! I will try this soon. Any tips for a new cook
all your stuff always looks great! i'm thinking i'm going to try that red velvet cake for valentine's day.
have you ever made a blonde brownie? it's one of my favorite desserts ever, but i've never made one. the best one i've had was at applebee's, with the hot buttery maple syrup poured over it and some vanilla ice cream. i would love to see you try a good one out and pass it on!
Hey Monique im have a fundraiser for my job and I want to bring these wonderful wings.however, we are not allowed to have open flames only crock pots do u think these will stay crispy in a crockpot without covering it or what do you suggest? Please respond asap thanks for everything .
