Ingredients

• 2-1/2 pounds whole chicken wings
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 2/3 cup chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• Oil for deep-fat frying

Preparation

Step 1

Cut wings into three sections; discard wing tip sections. In a large saucepan, combine the syrup, chili sauce, lime juice and mustard. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to about 1 cup.

Meanwhile, in a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, paprika and pepper, add wings a few at a time, and shake to coat.

In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry wings, a few at a time, for 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Transfer wings to a large bowl; add sauce mixture and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Yield: 2 dozen.
