A
long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....something new came on the
scene that I loved. KFC introduced their Honey Barbecue Wings. Oh
my....I could sit and eat those all day long. Personally I think they're
not as good now as they used to be, but back in the day, I could eat my
weight in wings. I have been known to send IT Guy out for them after
the kids were in bed so I wouldn't have to share them. I'd hide the
leftovers in the fridge so the kids wouldn't find them then I'd have the
wings for lunch while the little darlings were at school eating their
yummy sack lunches. How mean was I? Eh...what they didn't know, didn't
hurt 'em!! ;-) A while back I made a honey-chipotle sauce that was SOOOO
good. So far I've put it on meatballs and meatloaf (Yuck. Yuck to
meatloaf...not "the sauce"). So when I was at the grocery store the
other day, I spied chicken wings!! YES!!! So far, my favorite way to use
"the sauce"...............if you don't make anything else you see here
on SFFS....PLEASE make these!! Oh. My. Stinkin. Goodness. I could have
eaten the whole batch! And unless I didn't hide them well enough from my
kids...there's just enough for my lunch today!!!!!
Honey Chipotle Chicken Wings
25 whole chicken wings - or one of the great big packages
2 cups self rising flour
1 tablespoon Lawry’s Seasoning Salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 eggs
Remove tips from chicken wings and discard. Cut remaining chicken wing in two, splitting at the bone.
In a large skillet, add about an inch of cooking oil. Heat to medium-medium high heat.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Dump wings into the bowl and toss until all the wings are coated with the beaten eggs.
In a large zip top baggie, combine flour, Lawry’s salt and garlic salt. Add 6 or 7 wings at a time to bag and shake until coated. Repeat until all chicken has been coated.
Fry chicken wings in batches for about 3 – 4 minutes per side until they’re all cooked and golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels. Keep cooked wings in a warm oven until all chicken is cooked.
