These are excellent! My teenagers love them and ask for them all the time. Definitely better with the Frank's hot sauce. I quadrupled the recipe and added an extra half-cup of hot sauce for that amount of wing sauce. It is a must to refrigerate the wings after tossing with the flour. Watch the the time for cooking. 10 minutes may be too much depending on the size of your wings. Also, the sauce separates after a few minutes when you are cooking multiple batches. Use an immersion blender to emulsify the ingredients and keep the sauce from separating.

Umm.. two words... simply amazing! We actually made these over a campfire in peanut oil for a football game gathering and I think every other person in the campground started to gather around the fire from the wonderful aroma (or maybe it was the TV..lol). Too bad there wasn't more to go around! I'll have to double the batch because they were gone in a hurry.

These were excellent. I made about 80 for my company Christmas party, and I got nothing but praise. I changed the hot sauce slightly. I made the ratio of butter to hot sauce 1 to 2. 1 part butter to 2 parts hot sauce. This made it a little hotter, but it still was not too hot. Adding the flour mixture to the wing was the key. I coated the wings with an egg wash and hot sauce mixture before dipping into the flour mixture. This made the flour stick well to the wing. I also let them sit in the fridge over night, before frying.

I have made this several times and it is always great!! The only thing i would add is try "Franks" hot sauce if it is avaliable in your area! Makes a huge difference to me... Try it out and see what you think!

I tried this recipe today, and I have to say that I love it!! I have attempted "hooters" hot wings before- several times and several different ways and ingredients and this is the closest I've come to it. The wings did stay crunchy for longer and the sauce was great.....it didn't have that "tang" that was almost sour, it was perfect.........I'll definitely make them again, and I'll be sure to pass this recipe and site on to friends......

I soak the wings in the buttermilk and then shake winds in a bag w/ an apropriate amount of flour and fry as is without spices. Mix the butter, spices(sans the extra salt...makes it too salty)and hotsauce in a large bowl with a top. Stick the bowl w/ butter and spices in the nuker long enough to melt the butter and stir all together. When wings are done, put them in the bowl with seasoning mixture, cover and shake. This will make wings just like Hooters!!

YUM! I made them with boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks, and I used Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Couldn't be better. Thanks for posting!!

What a great recipe. The sauce was so good and was just the right amount of heat (not too much not too little). The whole plate was gone!! I will definitely make this again.

GOOD, a big hit at the WWF Pay-per-view party tonight. Not quite the same taste as Hooters, but close enough. I actually duplicated everything by 8 (and made 80 wings), and it worked out great. Only changes are that I made all of the sauce and dry mix at once, and used those as I went - Obviously I didn't cook 80 wings all at once. I rolled the wings in the flour mixture as I needed them (rather then 'sprinkling' them with flour like the recipe says), and put a ladle full of sauce in each batch of 10-15 wings as they came out of the deep fryer. Also added some habenero sauce to a few batches to spice them up some more. Mmmmm...Mmmmm. Great with a few St. Arnold Christmas Ales (dark, sweet ale)
