Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup bread flour
- ½ cup brown sugar and butter flavored breakfast cereal (such as Cap’n Crunch®), finely ground
- 5 pounds large chicken wings, patted dry with paper towels
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot®)
- ¼ cup bourbon whiskey
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon habanero pepper sauce
Instructions
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 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.
- Fry the wings, 6 at a time, in the oil until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let wings drain on paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 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.
- Place the wings on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is slightly sticky, about 10 minutes.

Reviews
This was amazing although I tweaked it a bit. I used flour, panko bread crumbs and crushed garlic butter flavored croutons instead of flour and cereal. I did not add anything to the Franks red hot sauce except the 3/4 cup butter. I used a 4 lb bag of frozen drummettes (thawed, rinsed and dried with paper towels. The egg mixture was adequate so no need to increase. I recommend increasing the flour mixture and the sauce mixture to double or at least 1-1/2. I fried in a four cup mixture of canola oil and sesame oil. I cooked in large skillet of oil for 30 minutes turning at 15 minutes. Tip: use left hand to dip in egg and drop in flour mixture, then use right hand to coat with flour and place in hot oil. It cuts way down on the mess. Tasted better than any restaurant. My husband was ecstatic. Will make again for sure!!
This is the only wing recipe I will ever use again.
I found these to be very good. The texture & flavor of the wing after deep-frying were spot on. I wasn’t quite sure what was meant on the cereal & brown sugar thing, so I just used Cap’n Crunch. The sauce: I tasted it after mixing & was a little sweet , so I added more hot sauce to balance it out (just my preference). I also baked once as directed & then poured more sauce on them & baked again for 10 more minutes. These are quite messy, so you will need a wet finger towel at the table. You also need more oil for frying them.
