Preparation
- Make roasted garlic: Cut off the top ¼ inch of each garlic head, exposing the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Wrap up in aluminum foil, place on a sheet tray and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until cloves have completely softened. Remove from the oven, let cool, and then squeeze the cloves out.
- Make the sauce: Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add honey, chipotle puree, apple cider vinegar, and roasted garlic to the saucepan and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and continue to simmer for 10 minutes, or until sauce becomes syrupy. Set aside.
- Wings: In a large bowl, toss the wings with 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper, until well coated.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and remaining spices.
- Heat 3 cups of vegetable oil in a large pot until the oil reaches 350°F.
- While oil is heating up, dip chicken wings in the egg mixture until evenly coated, then dip them in the flour mixture, and shake off any excess flour.
- Fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden and fully cooked. Drain wings on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, toss the wings with the sauce until evenly coated.
- Plate wings and garnish with scallions. Serve with ranch dressing.
