| Combine the flour, salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a flat bowl. Thoroughly coat the chicken pieces on all sides, then place in a container to refrigerate for at least one hour. Melt the butter with the black pepper, hot sauce, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over moderate heat. Reduce heat to keep warm while you fry the chicken wings. Deep-fry the chicken wings in 375-F degree oil for about 13 minutes. Drain. Pour half the hot sauce mixture over chicken. Cover tightly, and toss to coat. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing as a dip. |
