Ingredients

3 pounds chicken wings
Oil for deep-fat frying
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons water
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions

Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tip sections.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, for 8 minutes or until golden brown and juices run clear, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the syrup, hot sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Combine water and cornstarch; stir into sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Place wings in a large bowl; pour sauce over and toss to coat. Yield: about 2 dozen.

Delicious combination of flavors!

The only change I made was to replace the hot sauce with Frank's Red Hot buffalo sauce (which I already had on hand). The sauce was amazing!...and there was plenty of it. I cooked 4 lbs wing drums, sauced them up good and still had 1/4 of the sauce left over. Next time, think I may just thicken the sauce a little more and baste over boneless skinless breasts (the way you'd use BBQ sauce) or use as a dipping sauce for nuggets.

These were different. I used less butter and substituted a buffalo wing sauce for 1/2 the hot sauce and butter.

We like things saucy, so the amt of sauce was just perfect (plus we did about 4 lbs of wings). We did add a bit more heat to suit our tastes.

There was alot of sauce leftover. May cut that in half next time or double the amount of chicken wings. Loved the flavor...sweet & spicy (although not too spicy). My family loved them. The wings were gone in no time.

These wings were tasty but there was way more sauce than needed! I fixed 4 lbs. instead of just 3 lbs. and I would only have needed half of the sauce.
