Ingredients

3 quarts vegetable oil for deep-frying
2 1/2 pounds chicken wings (about 12)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2/3 cup apricot preserves
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, or to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a 6-quart kettle heat oil over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375 F.

While oil is heating, cut off wings tips, reserving them for another use (such as chicken stock), and half wings at joint. In a saucepan simmer remaining ingredients, stirring, until glaze is slightly thickened,after keep warm over low heat.

Preheat oven to 200 F.

Pat chicken wings dry. Working in batches of 8, fry chicken wings in oil until crisp and golden. Return oil to 375 F. Between batches. With a slotted spoon transfer wings as fried to a rack set in a baking pan and keeping warm in oven.

In a large bowl toss chicken wings with glaze to coat.
