Hooters Hot Wings

February 2, 2009

Hooters hot wings make a different kind of hot wing than you normally find.  Hooters hot wings are battered.  Most hot wing recipes simply fry the wings. But, by adding this crispy batter to the Hooters hot wings, the outside of the wing gives you more flavor and more crunchy bits!
Hooters Hot Wings

Hooters hot Wings

Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
4 1/2 – 5 pounds chicken wings (cut into drumettes and flappers)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Hooters Hot Sauce

In a large mixing bowl, mix flours, salt, paprika and cayenne pepper together, and blend well. Cut chicken wings into drumettes and flappers. Wash and drain chicken. Coat chicken in flour mixture; refrigerate chicken wings for 90 minutes.
When ready to deep fry chicken wings, heat oil to 375 degrees. Place chicken pieces in hot oil, but do not crowd. Fry chicken wings until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain. When all wings have been fried, place in a large bowl. Add Hot Sauce mixture and mix completely. Use a fork or tongs to place chicken pieces on a serving platter. Serve immediately and with lots of paper towels.

    What Hot Sauce mixture? Your directions say add Hot Sauce mixture and mix completely but only ingrediants listed are for the coating for the wings.

    Use equal parts butter and Frank’s Hot Sauce. This is excellent on the wings!

    I’d like to know which cooking oil works best…
    – Corn Oil
    – Vegetable Oil
    – Sunflower Oil
    – others
    Has anyone experimented?

    none of the above

    peanut oil is the best for frying wings

  • http://www.copykat.com Stephanie

    I like peanut oil for frying meat. Personally I tend to go with whatever organic oil is available, I can’t determine a real difference when you are frying something in the same oil when you use it just once or twice.

    I tried the recipe for the first time [no Hooters in Israel )-: ]. All worked well, but for one thing. Even though the wings were coated with the flour mix it came out be a very thin coating, and then some came off when fried. How do you get a thick coating on the wings – that stays on, like you get atHooters? Thx Mike
