Ingredients

  • 10 chicken wings
  • 2 1/2 cups pork fat, duck fat, or beef fat
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Frank's Hot Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Tabasco Sauce

Directions

  1. Melt the pork fat in a medium sized sauce pan over moderate heat. When the temperature hits 200 degrees add the wings. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until meat is cooked. Check the oil occasionally, and adjust the heat to maintain a temperature close to 200 degrees.

  2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. When melted add the brown sugar, Frank’s, cider vinegar, and Tabasco. Stir until combined. Turn off the heat and set aside.

  3. When wings are done, remove from the fat. Preheat the broiler to high. Place the wings on a roasting pan and set under broiler. Cook for 5 minutes, flipping halfway, or until skin is crisp.

  4. Toss the wings with the sauce and serve. Blue cheese dressing and celery would be nice, too.
