Appetizer  Snack 

• Cooking Time: 30-60
• Servings: ~12
• Preparation Time: 20
• • 2 Cup Sugar
• • 1 1/3 Cup Water
• • 4 Tablespoons Catsup or Chili Sauce
• • 1 1/3 Cup Vinegar
• • ¼ Cup Soy Sauce
• • 2 Corn Starch
• • 2 Tsp Garlic Powder
• • 2 ea Eggs, beaten
• • 2 tsp Savory Salt, Seasoned Salt, or salt substitute
• • 2-4 tsp Chili Powder (to taste)
• • 4 Dozen Chicken Wings
• • Cooking Oil

1. Sauce: Mix first five ingredients in a sauce pan and boil 15 minutes, or longer for thicker sauce.

2. Batter: Mix next five ingredients in a medium bowl.

3. Chicken: Disjoint wings. Discard tips, or save for stock pot. (Thin strips of chicken breast may be substituted for wings, if desired.)

4. Cooking: Heat oil in a heavy pan to 375º F. Dip chicken pieces in batter, and fry until browned. Drain on paper towels

5. Dipping: Soak cooked wings in the hot sauce for 1 – 2 minutes and drain back into pot.

6. Serve hot or cold.

This is fun to make during a party, because everyone gathers around the cook to grab pieces as they are finished. I gave up trying to serve it as a finished appetizer because it never reached the table. The production process acts as a conversation point for adults and kids.
