Ingredients

For the Wings

  • 1 cup flour (I like to use Wondra flour but regular flour is great too)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • pinch salt
  • 20 chicken wings
  • oil for deep frying

Wingers Freakin' Amazing Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Franks Hot Sauce (It has to be Franks Hot Sauce, no other sauce will taste as good)
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

For the Wings

  • Mix the flour, cayenne and salt together in a bowl.
    Bowl of flour mixture and whisk on the side.
  • Place chicken wings in a large bowl and toss with flour mixture until they are evenly coated (or you can do it the Shake n' Bake way and put it all in a large and coat 5 or so wings at a time so they get evenly covered). Cover bowl and refrigerate for about an hour.

Wingers Freakin Amazing Sauce

  • Heat up hot sauce, brown sugar, and water in a saucepan until all the sugar dissolves. Remove sauce from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature before adding to wings OR prepare ahead of time and refrigerate.

  • The wings turn out best if you don't pour warm sauce over them. You want it nice and thick.

Notes

For best results:
  • Make sauce and allow to fully cool before pouring over fried chicken wings
  • Or prepare ahead of time and place in the refrigerator
  • The sauce is thicker when cool, and this allows for best results when pouring
