When I moved to Kansas City from Texas, I brought many of my mom's best-loved recipes with me, including these saucy sweet-and-sour wings. This recipe turned a friend of mine, who's not a fan of chicken, into a real wing lover. -Susan Wuckowitsch, Lenexa, Kansas

Tempura Chicken Wings Recipe

Prep: 40 min. Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 10 Servings

40 25 65

Ingredients

15 whole chicken wings (about 3 pounds)
1 cup cornstarch
3 eggs, lightly beaten
Oil for deep-fat frying
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup currant jelly
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tip section. Place cornstarch in a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken wings, a few at a time, and shake to coat evenly. Place eggs in a shallow bowl; dip wings in eggs.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry wings for 8 minutes or until golden brown and juices run clear, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, jelly, soy sauce, ketchup and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Place chicken wings in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Pour half of the sauce over wings. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15 minutes. Turn wings; top with remaining sauce. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until coating is set. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

Editor's Note: Uncooked chicken wing sections (wingettes) may be substituted for whole chicken wings.

These are very good, but cleanup was a chore. The next time I make them, I will line the baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it wih cooking spray. --Anne Metzler, Riverton, WY

These are my favorite chicken wings. They are not spicy, which is good for us, but the flavor is AMAZING! The only negative is how time consuming they are, but it is worth it!

We made these for our Super Bowl party & they live up to the rating. I loved the texture of the breading!

These are the best wings my family and I have ever eaten. I made them every year for Superbowl Sunday.
