Next time you get the craving, skip take-out and fry them up yourself—homemade ranch, not optional. And keep in mind, this recipe is worth doubling. Pile them up in a cast iron skillet and serve them alongside crunchy favorites like carrots and celery. Level Intermediate Prep Time 15 minutes Cook Time 15 minutes Serves 4-6 Cook it With Our 5 Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven Ingredients Wings 4 pounds chicken wing sections 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 1 cup water ½ cup unsalted butter ½ cup cayenne-based hot sauce (think Frank’s Red Hot or Louisiana) 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1 teaspoon honey 1 ½ quarts vegetable oil (for frying) Buttermilk Ranch ½ cup buttermilk (that’s Cruze, for us!) ½ cup Duke’s Mayonnaise ½ cup sour cream 1 clove garlic, grated 1 teaspoon dill, chopped 2 tablespoons chives, chopped 1 teaspoon lemon juice ¼ teaspoon Tabasco Directions Hot Wings Brine the wings. Dissolve salt and sugar with water in a resealable bag; add chicken and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours. Remove wings from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Heat oil in a 5 Quart Dutch Oven to 375° F. Carefully add wings in batches. Fry until crisp and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. For crispier wings, cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove chicken from oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate or cooling rack. While the wings are frying, melt butter in a small saucepan. Add hot sauce, cider vinegar, and honey. Stir to combine, then remove from heat. Place wings in a heat-safe bowl and toss in the sauce. After tossing and plating, drizzle with residual sauce from the bowl.
