1

In deep fryer or 3-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375°F.
2

In 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix flour, paprika, red pepper, and salt. Add chicken, seal bag and shake until chicken is coated with flour.
3

Fry chicken in batches (to avoid over crowding) about 10 minutes each or until brown and no longer pink in center. Drain on paper towels.
4

Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan combine butter, pepper sauce, black pepper and garlic powder; cook over medium-high heat, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is blended.
5

In large bowl, toss chicken with butter mixture until completely coated.

Serve these spicy wings with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
Fry wings up to 8 hours ahead of time, store in refrigerator just until ready to serve. To serve, heat oven to 450°F. On an ungreased 15x10 x1-inch baking sheet place chicken. Bake 6 to 8 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. Toss with pepper sauce mixture.
