A Lip Smackin', Finger Lickin', Taste Like More Wing Recipe

My Family loves to watch cooking shows. Besides them being pretty "safe" when it comes to there being a plethora of trash television options to watch, we get some great recipe ideas to try. While we were on vacation last week watching cooking shows, we came upon a wing recipe that looked so good we wanted to lick the tv screen.
 
You may have figured it out from perusing some of my other "Recipes That Even I Can Make" blog entries that my two favorite chefs to cook after are Paula Deen and the Pioneer Woman. The source of this recipe will surprise you because its not from either.
 
This one comes from the Neely's, a sweet southern cooking couple. They are pretty entertaining in the kitchen and the can cook up some pretty fantastic wings, let me tell you. I've attempted in my meek and pitiful attempts to put together hot wings for years like my family loves in the restaurants and I just haven't been able to get there with them.
 
This recipe got me there. All the way there. There wasn't a wing left in the bowl with this recipe. I had company over when I made these wings and while the kids were eating them they decided to hold a competition to see how many they could eat because they couldn't stop eating them. There was a lot of smacking and humming at the dinner table and you better believe it that I'll be making them again!
 
Ingredients: 
  • Peanut oil, for frying 
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 pounds chicken wings, cut at joint
  • 1/2 stick (2 ounces) butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 cup peach preserves
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  •  
    Directions:

    Preheat deep fryer with peanut oil to 350 degrees F.
    Mix the 2 teaspoons salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
    Add chicken wings and toss to coat.
    Cook's Note: Let wings sit out at room temperature while you make the sauce to allow them time to absorb the seasonings.
    Melt the butter in medium saucepan over medium heat with the garlic.
    Stir in peach preserves, hot sauce, and soy sauce. Cook until syrupy and thick, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
    Add the wings to the deep fryer and fry until cooked through and golden and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. You will need to do this in 2 batches so you don't overcrowd your fryer.
    Remove the wings from the fryer and drain on a paper towel-lined baking tray.
    Add the fried wings to the large bowl of sauce and toss until well combined and wings are well coated. Using a slotted spoon, remove the wings to a platter and serve immediately.
