Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large bowl with paper towels.
- 2
Whisk one bottle of hot sauce, eggs, and water in a bowl until smooth. Put the flour in another bowl.
- 3
Season the chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dip one piece into the hot sauce mixture, then lift it so the excess drips back into the bowl. Toss in the flour to coat both sides, then place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- 4
Working in batches, fry the chicken in the hot oil until the meat is no longer pink at the bone and the skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain in the lined bowl and season again with salt.
- 5
Heat the remaining hot sauce and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until the butter melts. Whisk until smooth.

Remove the paper towels from the bowl and pour the butter sauce over the chicken; toss to coat.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
