Servings: persons

4 cups vegetable oil for frying
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 cup bread flour
1/2 cup brown sugar and butter flavored breakfast cereal (such as Cap'n Crunch(R)), finely ground
5 pounds large chicken wings, patted dry with paper towels
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot(R))
1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon habanero pepper sauce

1
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
Whisk together eggs and milk in a bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together the bread flour and ground cereal. Coat the wings in the egg mixture, then in the cereal mixture.
3
Fry the wings, 6 at a time, in the oil until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let wings drain on paper towels.
4
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
5
While wings are frying, mix the melted butter, hot sauce, bourbon, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and habanero sauce in a large plastic tub with a lid. Place the wings into the sauce, close the lid, and shake to coat wings with sauce.
6
Place the wings on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is slightly sticky, about 10 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
