Honey Fried Chicken Ingredients 1 cup honey 1 1/2 cup (210 g) all-purpose flour, divided 1/4 cup (40 g) whole wheat flour 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided 2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided 1 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme 1 1/2 teaspoon rubbed dried sage 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons red raspberry vinegar (or another fruit vinegar of your choice) 1/4 cup warm water 1/4 cup (35 g) cornstarch 2 lbs of chicken wings, broken down into drummettes and wings, tips discarded or saved for stock Oil for frying Special equipment Dutch oven Deep frying thermometer Wire mesh spoon, spider skimmer or heat proof tongs Rimmed baking sheet Wire rack Directions 1. Place the honey, 1 cup of the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon of the salt, 1 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper, thyme, sage, nutmeg, vinegar and water in a large bowl. Stir until a smooth batter forms (it will be thick). Place aside and let the batter stand for an hour. 2. Meanwhile mix the remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cornstarch in another small bowl. Dip the chicken wings into the dry ingredients and place on a baking sheet to dry. 3. Once the batter has sat for an hour, pour enough oil in a large heavy Dutch oven to bring it to 1 1/2” deep. Heat the oil to 350˚F. While the oil heats up, line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and place a wire rack over it. Once the oil had heated, take about 1/3 of the chicken wings and dip in the batter, letting excess batter drip off of it as you remove it from the bowl. Carefully place it in the hot oil, making sure not to crowd the pot with too many pieces. 4. Fry the chicken wings for 8 minutes, stirring frequently and turning over the pieces until they are deep golden brown. Move the done wings to the wire rack and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces, until they are all fried. Serve immediately or at room temperature. Makes 12-16 medium-sized wings, enough for 4-6 people as appetizers.
