  • Season chicken wings lightly with seasoned salt.
  • Mix flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika together in a wide, shallow bowl. Press wings into flour mixture to coat and arrange in a single layer on a large plate. Refrigerate coated wings for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Dredge wings again in flour mixture and return to the plate. Refrigerate wings once more for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Fry chicken wings in hot oil until crisp and juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Transfer fried wings to a large bowl. Drizzle sauce over wings and toss to coat.
