KFC Honey BBQ Wings II

By Addie

I am absolutely NUTS about these wings but the price has been going up and up over the last few years, so it is so nice to be able to make them at home! Cheaper too! This recipe is for wings but boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into pieces can be used for a Boneless BBQ Chicken version.

Ingredients

• SAUCE:
• 1 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/3 cup white vinegar
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 jalapeno pepper (optional)
• ....................................
• WINGS:
• 6-8 cups vegetable oil
• 20 chicken wing pieces
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon MSG ( Accent )

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until ingredients are well-combined and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes.

2. As sauce is simmering, heat up 6 to 8 cups of oil in a deep fryer set to 350 degrees.

3. Combine the beaten egg with the milk in a small bowl.

4. In another small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper and MSG.

5. When oil is hot, dip each wing first in the flour mixture, then into the milk and egg mixture, and back into the flour. Arrange wings on a plate until each one is breaded.

6. Fry the wings in the oil for 9-12 minutes or until light, golden brown. If you have a small fryer, you may wish to fry 10 of the wings at a time. Drain on paper towels or a rack.

7. When the sauce is done, brush the entire surface of each wing with a light coating of sauce. Serve immediately. Makes 2-4 servings (20 wings)
