Boneless Hot Wings (like Applebees)

I am in love with the hot boneless wings at Applebees and wanted to find a way to make them at home. I found this recipe and it's pretty dang close and oh so good. My whole family loves them :)

Ingredients:
1 c butter
1/2 c Louisiana hot sauce
1/8 t ground black pepper
1/8 t garlic powder
2 c flour
1 t paprika
1 t cayenne pepper
1 t salt
15-20 chicken tenders cut into 1 inch pieces (or you can use boneless skinless chicken breasts)
vegetable oil, for frying

For the coating you will need:
1 c butter
1/2 c hot sauce
1/8 t garlic powder
1/8 t ground black pepper

Directions:
1. If your wings are frozen make sure to defrost
2. Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a LARGE bowl.
3. Mix together in a seperate bowl 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup hot sauce. a dash of garlic powder and a dash of pepper. Heat in the microwave for about 20 seconds stir to mix well. Set aside.
4. Put the wings into the large bowl of flour mixture, coating each wing evenly.
5. Dip each wing into the butter mixture then back into the flour mixture.
6. Place all the wings on a plate or baking sheet and place them in the fridge for 60-90 minutes (this helps the breading stick to the wings when fried)
7. Heat oil in the deep fryer to 375 F (you want just enough oil to cover the wings entirely)
8. Fry the wings for 10-15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown.
9. Remove the wings with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. (don't let them sit too long as you want to serve them hot)

For the coating.
10. Combine the other cup of butter, 1/2 cup of hot sauce, ground pepper and garlic powder in a low sauce pan over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well blended.
11. Quickly put the wings into a large bowl or plastic container with a lid
12. Add the coating mixture and stir, coating all the wings evenly or you can shake them if your container has a lid.

These are great for that Super Bowl party you have coming up :)
