My Hot Wings

These are super great and kind of like my favorite wings of all time, Taco Mac. Sadly I've yet to completely unravel that mysterious goodness but mine are pretty close. Enjoy!

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup Durkee's sauce(if you cant find any there's a substitute recipe below that i've come up with)
• 1 garlic clove , minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
• 2 -3 lbs chicken wings
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• vegetable oil , for frying

• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon salt , plus
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg

Directions for wings: 

Combine hot sauce, butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and sugar; mix well in a pot and warm the sauce until butter is melted. Keep warm until ready to use.If the wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them. If they have not been clipped yet, clip the tips off, and separate at the joint. Wash them well in cool water. Season with salt, paprika and cayenne. Put on a paper towel covered rack/tray in the refrigerator overnight to air dry.  Oil should be about 375 degrees. Deep fry the wings in batches until just golden, about 10 to 15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown. Put the wings into a large bowl with lid. Add the hot sauce. Put on the lid, then shake making sure to coat all the wings evenly. Serve any left over sauce on the side. Remove the wings from the oil to a paper towel covered pain to drain and put in a warm oven (200 degrees) while cooking the remaining wings. But don't let them sit too long, because you want to serve the wings hot.
