Honey-fried Chicken Wings

Smilyn's Note:

This is great for an appetizer! We also like it for lunch. BECAREFUL not to over-cook these: They will burn and taste horrible.

I had to try this recipe!When I did, I substituted some of the ingredients, like veg. oil for the olive,and I also added 1/2tsp. of paprika, directly to the pan, not the wings, which gave them a beautiful coloring and added sweetness. I would love to make some boneless chicken breasts in the same way, to see how it would turn out, probably delicious!
