Crispy Fried Maple Chipotle Sticky Glazed Chicken Wings

Crispy Fried Maple Chipotle Sticky Glazed Chicken Wings

I love any kind of crispy sticky wings and these were a big hit when I served them to some friends last weekend. Sweet, smokey, spicy, crispy, crunchy tender, glazed, juicy delicious-ness!

Maple Chipotle Glaze

1 cup maple syrup
1 tsp ground black pepper

1/4 tsp salt

2 to 3 tsp ground chipotle powder

Simmer together very slowly for 5-10 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool thoroughly. Watch this carefully as it simmers because it can foam up over the pot very easily.

Mix together:

2 cups flour
6 tbsp powdered ginger
1 tsp cayenne pepper
3 tbsp salt
1 tbsp ground black pepper

Prepare an egg wash of 2 eggs and 4 tbsp cold water whisked together.

Wash, pat dry, trim the tips and cut into sections,

3 pounds chicken wings

Dip the wing pieces into the egg wash and then toss in the flour mixture. Drop the coated wings into a preheated 350 degree F deep fryer, filled with canola, peanut, or soy oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 15-20 min depending on the size of the wing pieces. While still hot out of the oil toss the wing pieces in a large bowl with some of the maple chipotle glaze. Serve immediately.
