This is a fantastic recipe when you want some good wings without the usual “butter/hot sauce” main ingredients. Even though these are deep fried, very little oil is absorbed because of the coating. When they come out, they will be crisp. So, those who like crispy wings instead of the softer version–this will be for you–especially if you like hot wings with a nice touch of sweetness!

Ready in: 1 hour

Ingredients

Makes: 3 pounds of wings

• canola oil for frying
• 3 cups corn starch
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 pounds chicken wings, jointed, rinsed and patted dry
• 1 1/8 cups hot sauce, such as Texas Pete(R)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2/3 cups sugar

Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 40 mins

1. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F. Mix the corn starch, wheat flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl until evenly blended; set aside.
2. Working in batches, toss the wings in the flour mixture until well coated. Gently toss the wings between your hands to remove excess flour. Cook in the deep fryer until the meat is no longer pink at the bone, and the skin is crispy and golden brown, turning once during cooking, about 10 minutes per batch. Drain the wings in a bowl lined with paper towels. Continue cooking in batches until all of the wings have been cooked.
3. While the last batch of wings are cooking, bring the hot sauce, garlic, red pepper flakes, and sugar to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat, reduce it some to make it thicker if you want. Once hot, remove the paper towels from the bowl of wings, and pour the sauce over top. Toss until the wings are evenly coated with the sauce.
4. Now it’s time to grab a beer and enjoy!
