Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  2. Set out two shallow bowls. One for mixing cornstarch and flour, the other for whisking the egg. Mix cornstarch and flour together.
  3. Dip each marinated wing into the whisked egg, then into the cornstarch and flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Monitor temperature with a thermometer.
  5. Fry the coated wings in batches for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. In a saucepan over low heat, combine melted butter, hot sauce, and honey. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
  7. Pour the hot honey garlic sauce over the fried wings in a bowl and toss to coat evenly.
  8. Serve the wings on a platter and drizzle with any remaining sauce. Garnish as desired.
