BBQ sauce chicken wings

Here's a simple way to make something fried and finger-licking good. It's all about the BBQ sauce so use something good or make your own. I use Stubb's original or smokey mesquite Bar-B-Q Sauce.

Ingredients

2 cups canola oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup corn starch
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
12 drummettes and wings
1 egg
3/4 cup BBQ sauce

1 dozen

Directions

Heat the canola oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together the flour, corn starch, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and the egg. Use your hands to break up the egg and evenly coat the drummettes. (Add a little more flour if the coating is gooping up.)

Fry the chicken for 5 minutes. Turn them over and fry another 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and set aside to cool briefly (about 10 minutes).

Fry the chicken a second time, once again 5 minutes on each side. The pieces should be crispy and deep brown. Drain and let cool slightly.

Toss the twice-cooked chicken in BBQ sauce. Mix well.

Serve immediately.
