For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a dash of smoked paprika to the sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer it for a longer period, but be mindful not to burn it. The ice bath is an important step to make the wings extra crispy. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. If you want to make it milder, consider a sweet chili sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare an ice bath: Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Set aside.
02
StepBegin the sauce: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
03
StepDevelop the sauce: Pour in the hot pepper sauce and add the white sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to reduce and bubble, approximately 5 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly.
04
StepFry the wings: Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large, deep saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
05
StepCook the wings: Carefully add the chicken wings to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Ensure an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone registers 165°F (74°C).
06
StepChill the wings: Using a slotted spoon or spider, transfer the fried wings directly to the prepared ice bath for about 2 minutes, this makes them extra crispy. Then pat the wings dry with paper towels.
07
StepToss and serve: Return the patted dry wings to the sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to coat each wing evenly with the sweet and spicy glaze. Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish generously with sliced green onions.
