For extra crispy chicken, consider double-dredging the drumettes in the flour mixture.
Adjust the sugar and vinegar in the sauce to your personal preference for sweetness and tanginess.
If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) to the sauce before pouring it over the chicken.
This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
