I actually stopped frying my wings; i like them baked with a dry rub better, then i sauce them; they are nice and crispy and have a buttload of flavor baked into them, it is a process though...
dry rub: onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne powder, chili powder, paprika, crushed red pepper, white pepper, oregano (small amount), lemon zest (small amount) rub vigerously on both sides, let sit for ten mins. dust with sea salt bake @425 for 20-25mins per side, then kick it up to broil and crisp them to your hearts delight
"sweet heat" sauce (modified to make it milder): 3 cloves of garlic minced, any cayenne based hot sauce, 2 orange habs, minced leave seeds in(wear gloves, i made that mistake the first time i made sauce) 1/4 stick of butter, 4-6oz honey
saute garlic in butter in small sauce pan, once it starts to brown add hot sauce, peppers and lastly honey reduce to simmer, allow to simmer through the second half of wing bake, stirring ocassionally; once the wings are done put a layer of sauce on a platter, put wings on, coat wings with sauce, then dust wings with parsley
everyone should be able to handle them if you think its too hot take out the seeds from the habs, if you think its too mild, add more habs; its a fairly simple process and the wings come out killer every time, this recipe was inspired by my lack of choice when it came to hot sauces available to me, so i bought the cheapest cayenne sauce i could and modified it
also if you have extra sauce you can save it in the fridge and add to it later, i warn you though it will get hotter as time progresses...
... you'll have to work on that. Give him a serrano every night before bed
