Party at the police officer's house! / KFC Honey BBQ Wings
Hey, Anita sent us an Evite (twice over :P) to the Awana Christmas party at her house on Saturday! The commander and the constable, indeed... at least no one has really replied to it since it was sent at 11:45 PM (except Auntie Rebecca who describes it as "a sweet time of hospitality in your lovely home"), so I don't think I have to get right on the ball with that. I just have to remember to check the Evite tomorrow night sometime so I can see if certain people have replied yet, haha. Then again, am I really up by noon most days? Probably not... but for a three-hour party, I guess I can make an exception! (Denise and Andrea used to describe me as a Party Animal, and they were kinda right in a sense! :P)
KFC Honey BBQ Wings
Once a regular menu item, these sweet, saucy wings are now added to the KFC menu on a "limited-time-only" basis in many markets. So how are we to get that sticky sauce all over our faces and hands during those many months when we're cruelly denied our Honey BBQ Wings? Now it's as easy as whipping up a clone that re-creates a crispy breading on the chicken wings, and then slathering those puppies in a tasty knock-off of the sweet, tangy honey BBQ sauce. "Limited-time-only" signs, we laugh in your direction!
Sauce
1 1/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
6 to 8 cups vegetable shortening
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon MSG
20 chicken wing pieces
1. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until ingredients are well-combined, and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes.
2. As sauce is simmering, heat up 6 to 8 cups of shortening in a deep fryer set to 350 degrees.
3. Combine the beaten egg with the milk in a small bowl.
4. In another small bowl... combine the flour, salt, pepper, and MSG.
5. When shortening is hot... dip each wing first in the flour mixture, then into the milk and egg mixture, and back into the flour. Arrange wings on a plate until each one is coated with batter.
6. Fry the wings in the shortening for 9 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. If you have a small fryer, you may wish to fry 10 of the wings at a time. Drain on paper towels or a rack.
7. When the sauce is done, brush the entire surface of each wing with a light coating of sauce. Serve immediately. Makes 2 to 4 servings (20 wings).
Tidbits
Liquid smoke is a flavoring found near the barbecue sauces and marinades. Use hickory-flavored liquid smoke if you have a choice. MSG is monosodium glutamate, the solid form of a natural amino acid found in many vegetables. It can be found in stores in the spice sections and as the brand name Accent flavor enhancer. MSG is an important component of many KFC items.
