Equipment
Ingredients
For the batter
- 1 egg beaten
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
For the breading
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
For the wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
- vegetable oil for frying
For the sauce (double if you like a lot of sauce)
- ⅔ cup honey
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons chipotle chili pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
For the sauce
- Place all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer 2-4 minutes or until thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and set aside until ready to use.
For the batter
- In a shallow bowl or pie plate, combine all of the batter ingredients EXCEPT for the flour. Continue stirring for 30 seconds.
- Whisk or stir in the flour until smooth.
For the breading
- In a shallow bowl or pie plate, combine all of the breading ingredients.
For the wings
- Heat 3" of oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 350 F.
- Working in batches as needed, dip wing pieces into the batter. Shake off any excess.
- Toss the wing pieces in the breading and coat well. Do not shake off any excess.
- Fry wings for about 8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked completely.
- Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve wings drizzled with the sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping. I do not recommend tossing the wings in the sauce as it'll knock off the delicious crunchy coating.
Notes
Serve with a little Ranch or blue cheese dressing for a delicious double-dipping experience.
