Sweet & Hot Wings

Step 1: Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F. Mix the corn starch, wheat flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl until evenly blended; set aside.

Step 2: Working in batches, toss the wings in the flour mixture until well coated. Gently toss the wings between your hands to remove excess flour. Allow to sit on a rack for 20 minutes.

Step 3: Cook in the deep fryer until the wings are no longer pink at the bone, and the skin is crispy and golden brown, turning once during cooking, about 10 minutes per batch. Transfer the wings to a rack. Continue cooking in batches until all of the wings have been cooked.

Step 4: While the last batch of wings are cooking, bring the hot sauce, garlic, red pepper flakes, and sugar to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat, reduce it some to make it thicker if you want.

Step 5: Toss until the wings with the sauce are evenly coated.
