Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and cut them into drumettes and flats if necessary.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Dip each wing piece into the flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and back into the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour and place the wings on a wire rack to rest for 10 minutes.
Step 5
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat. Use a candy or deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Step 6
Fry the wings in small batches for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Place the fried wings on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, butter, and hot sauce (if using). Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth and warm.
Step 8
Toss the fried wings in the honey BBQ sauce until well coated. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
