Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 6 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup Honey
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken wings into drumettes and wingettes, discarding the wing tips if desired.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to create a seasoned flour mixture.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together milk and the egg to create a wet dredge.
Step 4
Dip each chicken wing into the wet dredge, allowing excess liquid to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the seasoned flour. Repeat for all wings.
Step 5
Place the coated wings on a wire rack and let them rest for 10 minutes to allow the coating to adhere.
Step 6
In a large deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Step 7
Fry the wings in batches for about 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 8
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the barbecue sauce and honey. Stir and heat until the sauce is warm and smooth.
Step 9
Toss the cooked chicken wings in the warm honey BBQ sauce until thoroughly coated.
Step 10
Serve immediately, garnished with your choice of parsley or alongside dipping sauces if desired.
