2-1/2 pounds whole chicken wings
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tip sections. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, paprika and pepper. Add wings, a few at a time, and shake to coat.
In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry wings, a few at a time, for 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Transfer wings to a large bowl and keep warm.
In a small saucepan, combine the sauce ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Pour over chicken wings and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

I tried this recipe because I wanted something different, to go along with BBQ wings, and I had all the ingredients on hand. I love it when a great recipe doesn't take anything "special". This is such a good sauce, and I'll make it again and again, but I especially liked the very easy coating for the wings. Lots of flavor, although I may add a bit of garlic powder next time. You can use any kind of sauce with this coating. Try it, you really will like it!

These were a hit with my family. Very easy and tasty as well. I added extra hot sauce as we like our food with some kick. Will make again and again.
