Ingredients:
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup honey |
1/4 cup chipotle-flavored hot sauce |
1 tablespoon grated lime rind (about 3 limes) |
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
4 to 5 pounds chicken wings |
1 tablespoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
peanut or vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Heat tomato sauce and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until butter melts. Stir in honey and next 4 ingredients, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often, 5 minutes. Set tomato sauce mixture aside.
2. Cut off wingtips, and discard. Cut wings in half at joint, if desired.
3. Sprinkle wings evenly with salt and pepper; dredge lightly in flour, shaking off excess.
4. Pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches into a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven; heat oil to 375°.
5. Fry wings, in 3 batches, 8 minutes per batch or until golden and crispy. Remove wings from oil using a slotted spoon; drain on layers of paper towels. (Allow oil to return to 375° before adding next batch of wings.)
6. Place wings in a large bowl. Drizzle with tomato sauce mixture, tossing well to coat. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
