Fried Chicken Wings with Blackstrap BBQ Sauce

Fried Chicken Wings with Blackstrap BBQ Sauce

This is probably the most requested dish that I have ever served when entertaining guests in my home. They have been a mainstay at many a celebration with friends over the years and some are not shy about requesting them in advance when an invitation is extended. We don't like to disappoint. ;)

3 pounds chicken wings, washed, trimmed and cut in pieces.

Mix together

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
½ tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp dry oregano
1 tbsp dry basil

Dip the chicken wings into an egg wash made from
2 eggs
4 tbsp milk

Dredge the egg washed wings in the flour mixture and drop them in a canola oil filled and preheated 350 degree F deep fryer for about 15-20 minutes depending upon the size of the wings until a medium golden brown. Drain on a wire rack placed on a cookie sheet. Hold in a 175 degree oven if making more than one batch. Serve with Blackstrap Barbeque Dipping Sauce.
