Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and toss them in a bowl with cornstarch and salt until evenly coated.
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 325°F (160°C); fry wings in batches for 8 minutes until pale golden, then remove and drain on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry wings again for 3-4 minutes until deep golden brown and the skin is shattered-crisp.
While the wings fry the second time, whisk hot sauce, butter, and vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until emulsified; toss the hot wings in the sauce immediately before serving.
