In a large stainless bowl, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Add chicken wings to the bowl and mix to coat.

Refrigerate the coated chicken wings for 60 to 90 minutes.

Heat deep fat fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Remove excess flour from the chicken wings and carefully place them in the fryer.

Fry the chicken wings for about 8 minutes until golden brown.

While frying, prepare the sauce by melting 1/4 stick of butter in a bowl.

Add hot sauce (Rooster's hot sauce) to the melted butter, along with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and mix well.

Once the chicken wings are done, remove them from the fryer and place them on a brown paper bag to drain excess oil.

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