Line a large bowl with paper towels. Whisk one bottle hot sauce, eggs, and water together in a bowl until smooth. Place flour into another bowl. Season chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dip one piece into hot sauce mixture, then lift up so excess liquid drips back into the bowl. Toss in flour to coat on both sides, then place onto a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken. Working in batches, fry chicken in hot oil until meat is no longer pink at the bone and skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain in the lined bowl and season again with salt. Heat remaining hot sauce and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until butter melts. Whisk until smooth. Remove paper towels from the bowl and pour butter sauce over chicken; toss to coat.
