3. Add the wings to the bowl, a few at a time, and coat well

4. Place the wings on a wire cooling rack and refrigerate for 90 minutes.

6. Deep fry the chicken wings for 8-10 minutes in small batches until golden & cooked through.

7. Drain the chicken wings on paper towel and allow to cool slightly.

8. Gently toss with the spicy sauce in a bowl, being careful not to dislodge the crumb.

9. Sprinkle with freshly chopped chives and serve with a creamy dip and ENJOY!

For the sauce:

1. Combine the sauce ingredients in a large saucepan.

2. Add the Tabasco Pepper sauce, stir well and bring to a boil. Simmer on a medium/low heat until a sticky, thickened consistency is reached. Between 5-10 minutes
