Here's a recipe for dunked wings ¹:
*For the Wings:*
- 1 kg chicken wings, tips removed and split at the joint
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oil, for frying

*For the Dunking Sauce:*
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (adjust according to taste)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

*Instructions:*
*1. Preparing the Chicken:*
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Dredge each chicken wing in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- For best results, let the coated wings sit on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. This helps the coating stick better.

*2. Frying the Wings:*
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- The oil should be deep enough to completely submerge the wings.
- Carefully add the chicken wings to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
- Fry until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Use a digital thermometer to ensure they’ve reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the wings from the oil and let them drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.

*3. Making the Dunking Sauce:*
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, hot sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to cook and thicken slightly for about 5 minutes.
- Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove it from the heat.

*4. Dunking the Wings:*
- Place the fried wings in a large bowl.
- Pour the hot sauce over the wings and toss until they are all evenly coated.

*5. Serving:*
- Serve your homemade KFC Dunked Wings
