KFC's Honey BBQ Chicken Wings
List of Ingredients
20 CHICKEN WINGS, tips removed
-OR-
? pieces CHICKEN, skin/bone removed and cut into
bite-size pieces
2 cups ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR (approximately)
2 large EGGS mixed with 1 TBS WATER (or about
1/2 cup egg substitute--minus the water OR
3 large egg whites mixed with the water)
1 bottle KC MASTERPIECE ORIGINAL BBQ SAUCE
(use your favorite local brand if you
can't find KC's)
1/4 cup HONEY (or to taste--see comments below)Recipe
Heat a large skillet or use your deep fryer. Heat oil until
it's very hot (around 350-degrees). See comments, below.
Meanwhile, wash the chicken wings, then remove the wing tips
(there's no meat on this part--save it for soup or toss it in
the trash); cut the other two pieces in half. Shake off the
excess water. If you want to cut out the fat, use
boneless/skinless chicken breasts and cut them into bite-size
pieces.
Place the eggs (whole eggs or just egg whites) and water into a
bowl and mix well. If you'll be using egg substitute, don't add
the water, it's watery already--just beat it until it's a little
foamy. Set aside.
Mix together the BBQ sauce and honey, tasting as you go. Make
the sauce as sweet as you like. I usually start out with 1/4
cup of honey and add more, tasting as I go. Set aside. I
usually use Clover Honey, use whatever kind you can get there.
Put the flour into a bag, then shake the wings in it, to
lightly coat. Roll the wings in the egg wash, then toss them
back into the bag. You want a fairly heavy coating of flour--
so the BBQ sauce has something to hang onto. You may want to dip/
shake 2-3 times.
Fry the wings until they're golden brown. They don't have to
be totally "done", just browned. You'll be baking them later
on, so don't worry about it. Drain on paper towels. Again, I
haven't tried this myself, but it would work. Either fry the
chicken in PAM or a light coating of oil in a non-stick skillet
until the chicken is browned. Don't crowd the skillet, do them
in batches. You have to brown them until they're fairly crisp, or
the coating will fall off when you dip it into the sauce.
Preheat oven to 325-degrees.
Once the chicken pieces are fried (browned) and drained, dip each
piece into the BBQ sauce/honey mixture and place onto cookie
sheets. Make sure the pieces don't touch each other.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they no longer look shiny and
the chicken tests done (juices run clear when poked with a
knife). Baking dries the coating out a bit and sets the coating
so it doesn't fall off--sort of like KFC's holding ovens.
Anyway, that's my version of their wings. If you can find the
BBQ sauce I use here they'll taste exactly like KFC's. Hope my
lower fat version works. If it does, please let us know?
