Louisiana Hot Sauce Wings (Crispy Fried Wing Recipe)

|
By Stephanie Manley Verified
| CopyKat
If the wings are not pre-cut, straighten the wings and cut them at each joint, dividing each wing into 3 parts. Reserve the wingette and drumette and discard the wing tip (or save it for another use). Preheat the vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot. Deep-fry the wings for 8 to 10 minutes. The wings will be done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and the juices run clear.

| CopyKat
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10–12 cup Bundt pan very generously — every ridge — with softened butter, then dust with flour (or use Baker’s Joy spray). This step is not optional; a dense, moist cake will stick to any under-greased surface. In a large bowl, whisk the white cake mix and cocoa powder together until fully combined and no cocoa clumps remain. Add eggs, sour cream, melted butter, water, red food coloring, and vanilla to the dry mixture.
