Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings.
Step 1
Start by chilling a metal bowl in the freezer; this will help keep your wings crispy and delicious later on. While that’s chilling, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the minced garlic and sauté it for about 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn! Next, stir in the hot pepper sauce and white sugar, cooking the mixture until it reduces and bubbles, which should take about 5 minutes. This will create a sweet and spicy glaze for your wings.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to fry the wings! Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan until it reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Carefully add the chicken wings to the hot oil, frying them for about 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and no longer pink in the center. To ensure they’re cooked through, an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when inserted near the bone.
Step 3
Once the wings are cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the hot oil and transfer them to the chilled bowl. Pour the garlic-hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss them gently to coat each piece evenly. Finally, transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and garnish with slivered green onions for a fresh touch. Enjoy your Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings hot and watch them disappear!
