My New Favorite Chicken Wing Recipe

Submitted by Mirj2338

"My kids have this unnatural fascination with chicken wings that I can't really fathom. They just adore them. This recipe sort of evolved over the years with various kids "helping" me in the kitchen. Prep time includes the 1 hour that the chicken hangs out in the fridge."

Thank you for posting this recipe! The texture of the coating was so different than anything I've ever tried with chicken wings, but they fried perfectly! Next time I will probably double the salt, just for my own taste, and maybe increase the hot sauce, as well. Thanks for sharing, Mirj!
