- Hot Sauce: Hot sauce adds a nice kick and depth of flavor.
- Flour: Some Flour is essential for coating the chicken wings.

Directions
Step 1
Take half a cup of flour in a shallow bowl and add salt and pepper to it. Mix the ingredients together until they are properly combined.
Step 2
Use a separate bowl to whisk two eggs together. Beat them well until they are light, fluffy, and pale yellow in color.
Step 3
Take each chicken wing separately, dip it into the egg mixture, then coat it with the flour mixture. After coating each chicken wing, place it on a plate and set aside until all of them are ready to be cooked.
Step 4
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough, add the chicken wings to the pan and fry them for 10 minutes, flipping each side once. When they are golden brown in color, remove them from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 5
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat add soy sauce, BBQ Sauce, honey, hot sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, paprika, ground ginger, and cayenne pepper. Stir the ingredients until everything is well combined.
Step 6
Add the fried chicken wings to the saucepan and toss them to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until they are heated through. Serve the chicken wings with extra sauce.
Cooking Tips
- Make sure to preheat your oven before baking the wings so that they cook evenly and come out crispy.
- If you want an even crispier wing, try adding some panko breadcrumbs to the wings before baking them in the oven.
- If you find that the sauce has become too thick, try adding some more apple cider vinegar or hot sauce to thin it out.
- For an extra kick of heat, add more cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- To ensure that the wings stay crispy, make sure to keep them on a baking sheet in a single layer rather than crowding them together.
What Ingredients Can I Replace or Substitute While Making It?
- Instead of soy sauce, you can use tamari or coconut aminos if you are avoiding gluten.
- For the BBQ sauce, you can substitute it with ketchup and Worcestershire sauce or even make your own homemade barbecue sauce.
- Hot Sauce can be replaced with Sriracha or chili paste.
- Honey can be replaced with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version.
- Apple cider vinegar can be replaced with rice vinegar or white wine vinegar.
- Ground ginger can be substituted with fresh grated ginger or ground nutmeg.
