INSTRUCTIONS

Pat dry chicken wings. If desired, cut wings into wingettes and drumette pieces. Add wings in a large bowl. Season wings liberally with salt and pepper. Set aside.

FOR BAKING THE CHICKEN WINGS

Pre-heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
Lightly coat chicken wings with the vegetable oil. Spread chicken wings on baking sheet pan.
Bake for about 50 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

FOR FRYING THE CHICKEN WINGS

Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
In bowl, combine flour and cornstarch. Coat chicken wings with flour mixture.
Heat oil about 1” deep in large skillet to 350-375° F.
Gently place wings in hot oil in batches so they don’t crowd each other and stick together. Fry wings on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side.
Remove chicken wings from oil and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

MAKE THE SPICY GARLIC SAUCE

In medium sauce pan melt the butter, then add minced garlic. Cook garlic until fragrant and lightly browned, but not burnt.
Add brown sugar, soy sauce, salt, smoked paprika and hot sauce to the sauce mixture. Cook for about 2 minutes or until sauce is combined well. Remove from heat.
When wings are cooked, add them to large bowl and toss with the spicy garlic sauce. Coat all wings evenly with sauce.
Serve warm, with sides of celery sticks, carrot sticks or blue cheese dip.
