Outback Kookaburra Wings

JLBurnell's Note:

I love these wings- they are amazing.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 10

• 10 small chicken wings
• 48 ounces shortening

For wing coating

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon kraft macaroni and cheese powdered topping (you can substitute this with "1 tablespoon taco seasoning" )
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (3/4-1 teaspoon for the "hot" variety)
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 dash ground cloves

For sauce

• 2 tablespoons crystal louisiana hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon water

Directions:

1. Preheat 48 ounces of shortening (1 large can), or 6 to 10 cups of vegetable oil (use the amount required by your fryer), to 350°F.
2. Make the spiced breading for your wings by combining the wing coating ingredients (flour through clove) in a medium bowl.
3. Stir well. Dip each wing, one at a time into the breading.
4. Arrange the breaded wings on a plate and let them sit uncovered in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
5. When the oil is hot, lower the wings into it. Fry for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the wings are brown.
6. While the wings are frying, mix the hot sauce and water together in a small bowl. When the wings are done, drain them for a moment on paper towels or a rack.
7. Drop the hot wings into a large plastic container with a lid. Pour the sauce over the wings.
8. Cover the container and shake it to coat the wings with sauce.
9. Use tongs to remove the wings from the container.
10. Serve with Bleu Cheese and Celery sticks.
11. Enjoy!

Outback has closed down in the UK now and this is a Fantastic Recipe use it all the time now.
My local shop has just started to sell Crystal Hot sause and this is by far the best one you can get.

My Kookaburra wannabe wings came out Fantastic!!! We had a full house tonight for the Royal Rumble and they were a hit.....

These are wonderful!! The coating makes them look dark, but they stay so moist! We didn't have Louisiana Hot Sauce, so we barely watered down Ken's Buffalo Wing Sauce (THE BEST WING SAUCE) and just dribbled it over the wings so they were slightly moist. WOW, if you are hankering for Outback wings, these will satisfy!!! Now for the Gingerbread Martini recipe....yep, I make those too!!
