What makes these wings so special? The sauce. We're bringing you the recipe for wings, plus three of the chain's 12 most popular varieties (spicy garlic, medium, and hot). A tip from Wilbur: The sauces are very thick, almost like dip, so it’s necessary to use an emulsifying technique.
INGREDIENTS
For the medium wing sauce:
- 1 cup Frank's cayenne sauce
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder*
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne**
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons water
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
For the wings:
- 6-12 cups vegetable shortening
- 20 chicken wings
- Celery sticks, for serving
DIRECTIONS
For the medium wing sauce:
Combine all of the ingredients except the egg yolk, water, and cornstarch in a small saucepan and place over medium heat until boiling, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
While the sauce cools, vigorously whisk the egg yolk with the water in a medium-sized bowl until the color is pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cornstarch until dissolved.
Drizzle the hot sauce mixture into the egg yolk mixture in a steady stream while rapidly whisking. This will create a thick, creamy emulsion that will prevent the oil from separating. Cover the sauce and chill until needed.
For the wings:
Heat the shortening in a deep pot to 350 degrees. (The pot should only be 1/3 full; make sure to use a pot that is large enough.)
Drop the wings into the shortening and fry until the wings are turning light brown, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the wings to a rack or paper towels to drain for 1 minute.
Put the wings into a plastic container with a lid. Add ¼-1/3 cup of your sauce of choice to the container, put the lid on, and give it a good shake. Pour the wings out onto a plate and add celery on the side. Oh, and get the napkins ready.
