Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Next, heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Give the wings a quick rinse and then pat them dry really well with paper towels. Fry the wings in small batches of about five or six for around 10 minutes until they’re partially cooked. Drain them on paper towels and let them cool for a bit. Once they’ve cooled, fry them again in the hot oil until they’re golden brown and crispy, which should take about 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Drain the wings again and toss them in a big bowl with your hot wing sauce until they’re nicely coated. Place the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, brush them with any leftover sauce, and pop them in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the sauce has mostly dried on. Serve them up with carrot sticks, celery, and some blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Pat the wings dry before seasoning to help them get extra crispy.
- Use a wire rack on your baking sheet to allow air circulation and even cooking.
- Flip the wings halfway through cooking to ensure both sides brown nicely.

Why you’ll love it

Serving ideas

Serve these wings with a variety of dipping sauces like ranch, blue cheese, or a spicy sriracha mayo. Add some fresh celery and carrot sticks on the side for a crunchy contrast. They pair well with cold drinks and make a great appetizer or party snack.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at a low temperature to keep the skin crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wings soggy.
