Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings, separated at joints
1/4 cup hot sauce
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix hot sauce, white vinegar, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F. Fry chicken wings in batches for 10 12 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from oil and let drain on paper towels.
Preheat grill to medium high heat. Grill the fried chicken wings for 3 4 minutes per side or until heated through and slightly charred.
Brush the wings generously with the prepared glaze, flip, and brush again. Cook for an additional 2 minutes on each side, basting frequently with the remaining glaze.
Transfer wings to a serving platter and enjoy!
