Ingredients
½ cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (optional for sweetness)½ cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (optional for sweetness)
Directions
- In a bowl, combine chicken pieces and buttermilk. Let soak 15–30 minutes (or refrigerate up to 4 hours).
- In a shallow dish, whisk flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat 1–2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Working in batches, lift chicken pieces from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge in seasoned flour until fully coated.
- Fry in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, 3–5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a small bowl, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, and honey or brown sugar if using.
- Toss hot chicken pieces in Buffalo sauce until coated.
- Serve immediately with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Notes
- For extra crunch, double-dip: flour, buttermilk again, then flour again.
- You can bake instead: place breaded chicken on a greased rack and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes.
- Adjust the hot sauce to make them milder or spicier.
