Step 1
Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the hot sauces, brown sugar, and vinegar until combined. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat 2 1/2 inches of oil in large dutch oven over med-high heat to 360 degrees.
While the oil heats, mix together the cayenne, black pepper, salt, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the wings and toss until coated.
