These Tabasco chicken wings, which are deep-fried and tossed in a spicy Tabasco butter sauce made with chili sauce, vinegar, and cayenne, are not your ordinary chicken wings.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 ticks unsalted butter at room temperature (and yes, really, 3 sticks)
  • 2/3 cup store-bought or homemade Tabasco sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5 pounds chicken wings
  • 4 to 6 cups vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the butter, Tabasco, sugar, chili sauce, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, and cayenne.
  2. In another large bowl, combine the flour and remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons salt.
  3. Dredge the chicken wings in the flour mixture to coat, and then place them on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 90 minutes.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or in a deep stock pot until it registers 350°F (176°C) on a deep-fry or candy thermometer.
  5. Fry the floured chicken wings in small batches until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. (Be careful not to crowd the chicken wings or they'll steam and turn soggy rather than fry and turn crisp!) Transfer the chicken wings to a plate lined with paper towels or to a brown paper bag as they come out of the oil. Let cool ever so slightly.
  6. Toss the chicken wings with the sauce, pile them on a platter, and serve with plenty of napkins!
