Method
Toss the chicken wings with the flour, kosher salt and black pepper in a large bowl until every piece is evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan to 175°C, checking the temperature with a meat thermometer before frying.
Fry the wings in two batches for 10 minutes each, turning halfway, until deep golden brown.
Lift the wings onto a wire rack set over a tray and check with a meat thermometer that the thickest part reads at least 74°C.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then whisk in the hot sauce, cider vinegar and garlic powder until glossy.
Toss the hot wings in the sauce until fully coated and serve immediately.
