Hooters Wings! Nope! Hooters Wangs

So I'm sitting at work and thinking, I'm really in the mood for some homemade hot wings. Now even though I throw down in the kitchen, I have not mastered frings Wings....Until...Lastnight. Okay just a little about myself. I am starting a YouTube Channel "Simply Me"... It's a food channel geared towards busy people wanting good home-cook food but not having the home-cook time.
With that said, I love to make great food as simple as possible.
Again like my Blog on how to make Gumbo on a budget. I am making this blog because my cousin Attorney Charles requested I do a blog on these Wangs......
Yes Wangs. These Wangs are Hooters inspired with a Chinese twist.
You will need.

*A package of whole wings
*Hooters flour
*1 tbsp of red pepper Cayenne
*1 tbsp of Sweet Paprika (doesn't have to be sweet)
*2 tbsp season salt
*Crisco grease (the way Grandmama Lola did it)
*Frank's Hot Sauce
* The Star ingredient Red Pepper Jelly (Located in jelly aisle)

*half stick of butter

First off, grab those Wings and clean them. After they are clean. Cut wings where u have drummers and Wings.
The reason why I rather whole wings then splitting them is because it's cheaper and for some reason when I have bought Wings in the pass, the quality was fatty.
Now that you have the Wings cleaned and chopped. In a bowl with top, mix all dry ingredients. Place top on bowel and shake, to make sure everything is equally combined.
Next take those dry clean Wings and place in dry ingredients. Close top and shake that bowl.
It's very important that you follow the next step.
Remove wings from flour and place in a pan big enough to hold your wings without placeing on top of each other. Once they are placed on plate, place in frig for 30 min to and 1 hour.
This allows coating to be well Incorporated on the chicken when you place in grease, your ending result will be Coated, flavorful and Crispy.
While wings are chilling lol, get a sauce pan mix all wet ingredients including Butter and Jelly. HALF CONTAINER OF JELLY, UNLESS YOU WANT IT SWEETER THEN NORM..
Once it has been 30 min,Open up that crisco and Spoon it in a Deep pot (I don't have a fryer)
Once you see grease popping a little, place one wing in grease to see if it's ready to fry those babies. The way you can tell it's ready is by the bubbles that are forming around chicken. It should be a nice consistent pattern of bubbles. IF! ITS MAKING GREASE GO CRAZY, REMOVE POT FROM BURNER AND ALLOW GREASE TO COOL. TURN DOWN BURNER AND TRY AGAIN.LOL.
Now that you have the grease right. Place about 6 wings in pot. Overcrowded Pot will not allow chicken to fry properly.
Once first Bash is done (Only should cook 8to 10 min once a light golden brown)
Pour your Wangs sauce in another Pyrex bowl.
I'm sorry only cook sauce until it comes to a boil. Then remove.
Combine Wings to Sauce , Close  the Bowl and shake. Remove wings from sauce and place in a Clean pan.
Repeat last steps until.you have completed all wings.
Then Final Step
Very important
The Last and final Step!
Eat the flesh out them boys!!! Lol! Okay maybe not flesh but Enjoy them Wangs....
