Instructions for Spicy Wings:

1. Prepare the Wings:
   • Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings. This helps achieve a crispy texture.
2. Season the Flour:
   • In a bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
3. Coat the Wings:
   • Dredge each wing in the seasoned flour until well coated. Shake off excess flour.
4. Heat the Oil:
   • In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil to 375°F (190°C). You can also bake them at 425°F (220°C) on a wire rack over a baking sheet for a healthier option.
5. Fry the Wings:
   • Fry wings in batches for about 8–10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. If baking, cook for about 35–45 minutes, turning halfway through.
6. Make the Sauce:
   • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in hot sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened.
7. Toss the Wings:
   • Once cooked, toss the wings in the sauce until fully coated.

Instructions for Chips:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Wash and slice potatoes into thin strips or wedges. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
2. Dry and Season:
   • Drain and pat dry the potato slices. Toss with oil and season with salt and any additional spices you prefer.
3. Cook the Chips:
   • Fry in hot oil until golden brown (about 5–7 minutes) or bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 30–40 minutes until crispy.

Useful Side Tips

• For extra spice in your sauce, consider adding red chili flakes or more cayenne pepper.
• To make it healthier, opt for baking instead of frying both wings and chips.
• Pair your wings with homemade blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
