Ingredients

20 chicken wings
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons Essence, recipe follows
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil.

To prepare chicken wings, cut off wing tips at the joint and discard the tips or reserve for another use. In a large bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, Essence, salt, and white pepper. Dredge the wings in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess and let set on a plate.

In a large, deep-sided pot, heat several inches of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. When the oil is heated, dredge the wings a second time, again shaking off the excess.

Deep-fry the wings until crispy and golden brown, about 12 minutes. While wings are frying, mix the hot sauce, honey, and brown sugar in a large bowl until mixture is smooth. Remove the wings from the oil, pat dry and then dip in the hot sauce mixture to coat. Lay the wings on the baking sheet. Bake coated wings until the sauce is dry, about 12 minutes. Serve hot with blue cheese or ranch dressing.

Tasty Wings
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I didn't have a thermometer, so I guessed the temperature for the wings. I think I may have overcooked the wings a bit, but... the sauce was quite tasty, although a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would've added less honey, that's the only reason I give this recipe 4 stars.Read more

Best wings ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have to say that this might be my favorite recipe from the website. My 10 year old just LOVES them. We tweaked the recipe... by just cutting down the hot sauce to 1/2 cup. 1 cup was just a tad too spicy for my family. This is now officially a family staple!Read more

Excellent
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

One of the best wing recipes I've tried. I cut the honey way back and omit the brown sugar entirely. I add butter, cayenne,... chipotle powder and smoked paprika to the sauce. Definitely our "go to" recipe for now.Read more
