Wings are cheap, they're the part of the chicken that's thrown away. And yet, there are many a restaurant charging a premium to toss them in a fryer and then into copious amounts of hot sauce to make them edible, so why not do it at home?!

That's what I tried my hand at this past weekend. Usually when we pick up a pack of wings for super cheap at our local grocer, we usually bake or grill the little suckers with a dry rub and some BBQ sauce - healthier than deep frying for sure, but I wanted to recreate our favourite wing house's recipe for finger licking goodness.

A quick look online and I found a simple recipe that I added a couple personal flourishes too. I dipped the chicken wings in Butter milk, then coated them with white flour that had some paprika, cayenne and salt added to it for some initial seasoning. Then I deep fried the wings in about 2 inches of vegetable oil for 10 minutes.

For the sauce, I mixed 1/2 cup of butter with 1/2 of Frank's Hot Sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, then I tossed the crispy fried wings in a bowl with some of the sauce right before serving to ensure they stayed crispy.

And you know what... I may never pay $10/pound ever again.
