Drain the brine from the bowl, but do not rinse the chicken.

Place the chicken in a large bowl, then pour the hot sauce all over the chicken.

Step 9

Next, combine the all purpose flour, cornstarch, and all of the seasonings

Step 10

Pour the flour mixture into a large freezer bag, then toss in the chicken wings.

Shake the bag, until the chicken is well coated with flour.

Step 12

Remove the chicken from the bag, and shake off any excess flour.
