Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 1 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 cups flour
• 3 tbsp powdered ginger, to taste
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper, more or less to taste
• 1 1/2 tbsp salt
• 2 tsp black pepper
• 3 lbs chicken wings
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbsp cold water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil and garlic. Sauté to soften the garlic but do not let it brown.
2. Add the honey, soy sauce, and 1 tsp black pepper.
3. Simmer together for 5-10 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool thoroughly. Watch this carefully as it simmers because it can foam up over the pot very easily.
4. Mix together the flour, ginger, cayenne pepper, salt and 1 tbsp black pepper.
5. Whisk together the eggs and water to make an egg wash.
6. Wash the wings, pat dry, trim the tips and cut them into sections.
7. Dip the wing pieces into the egg wash and then toss in the flour mixture. Drop the coated wings into a preheated 350 degree F deep fryer, filled with canola, peanut, or soy oil.
8. Fry until golden brown, about 15-20 min depending on the size of the wing pieces. While still hot out of the oil toss the wing pieces in a large bowl with some of the honey garlic sauce. Serve immediately.
