Take 3 pounds of chicken wings out of the freezer.

Crack 1 egg into a bowl, ensuring no shells are included.

Add 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning to the egg.

Add 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika to the egg mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of Tex-Mex seasoning to the egg mixture.

Add 1/2 cup of hot sauce (Frank's) to the bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of buttermilk to the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of hot chili powder and salt to taste.

Mix the ingredients well and coat the chicken wings in the marinade.

Let the wings marinate for at least 1 hour.

Heat canola oil in a deep fryer for about 20 minutes until hot.

Check the oil temperature by inserting a chopstick; if bubbles form around it, the oil is ready.

Coat the marinated wings in potato starch, shaking off any excess.

Fry the wings in the hot oil for 8 to 10 minutes, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer.

Remove the wings from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

In a separate bowl, melt a stick of butter and mix in more hot sauce to create the buffalo sauce.

Toss the fried chicken wings in the buffalo sauce until well coated.
