Directions
Wings
- Wash, trim excess skin and fat and cut the wings into pieces, discarding the tips. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Mix together the flour, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, five-spice powder, sea salt, Johnny's Seasoned Pepper and ground ginger.
- Prepare an egg wash by whisking together the eggs and milk.
- Coat the egg-washed wings in the flour mixture and drop them in a canola oil-filled and preheated 350 degrees F deep fryer for about 8-10 minutes or little longer for larger wings, until a medium golden brown.
- Drain on a wire rack placed on a cookie sheet.
- Hold in a 175-degree oven if making more than one batch.
Glaze
- Add the oil and garlic to a small saucepan.
- Sauté over medium heat until the garlic is softened but not browned.
- Add the honey, Johnny's Seasoned Pepper, Chinese crushed chili paste, and Johnny's Seasoning Salt and simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
- Pour over all the cooked wings in a large bowl and toss well to cover the wings in the glaze before serving.
- You can also just serve the glaze as a dipping sauce if you prefer.
