Instructions

Start heating 3 inches of oil in a deep pan to 375 F.
Prepare the wings by removing tips, separating drumettes and flats, then pat them dry.
In a small saucepan, combine hot sauce, butter, and vinegar over low heat until butter melts.
Adjust sauce flavor by adding more butter, water, or sugar to reduce heat; add more hot sauce to increase heat; add salt as needed.
Fry wings in 2 to 3 batches for 12 to 15 minutes each, ensuring crispiness and thorough cooking; allow oil to reheat between batches.
Toss fried wings with the warm sauce.
Serve immediately with blue cheese, ranch, or garlic Parmesan dip.
