Spicy Chicken Wings

For those of you who have asked here it is in all its simplicity.

Ingredients:
Chicken Wings (Trimmed into drum sticks, and the other bit, throwing away the very end)
Three Eggs (Beaten)
2 cups (250 g) Self Raising Flour (Self Raising Flour makes the batter crispier)
Pinch of Salt and Pepper (Add to the flour, it makes it taste better I promise)
One Sachet of Chilli Powder (You can use mild, but the hot is what I would recommend. It doesn't make the chicken very spicy)
Tabasco Sauce - Add a 1/4 teaspoon into the eggs when you beat them.
Oil (for deep frying)


For the Spicy David's Sauce (here's the simple bit)
2/3 cup (150 mls) Tomato Ketchup
1/3 cup (75 mls) Extra Hot Peri-Peri Sauce
1/3 cup (75 mls) Maple Syrup (Honey works, not as good) - makes the wings extra sticky - yummy


For the Mild Janey's Sauce
2/3 cup (150 mls) Tomato Ketchup
1/3 cup (75 mls) Caesars Salad Dressing (I've tried a lot of different things. This is about the best)
1/3 cup (75 mls) Maple Syrup


Heat the oil in a fryer/big saucepan.
Trim the wings. Beat the Eggs, and Tabasco Sauce (don't leave it out; even if you think you don't like the flavour/heat, it adds something to the wings flavour, without affecting your taste buds).
Mix the flour, and Chilli Powder (I always use hot chilli powder) and Salt and Pepper (don't leave the salt out (you wouldn't leave out the cement powder when you are building a house would you??) - it reacts with the flour to make a very crispy batter).
Coat the chicken in the eggs really well, and then dredge them through the flour until they are truly covering in batter.
Deep fry them, until the wings are golden brown and drain well on kitchen towel.
Put the wings onto a baking tray and place in the warm (150-180 degree) oven with the sauce over them for about 10-15 minutes. (You can fry the wings ahead of time, and just cover them in sauce in stick them in the over when you are ready to serve them. Don't put the sauce on to early, or put the wings in the fridge, as this will make the batter soggy)
Get a lot of serviettes and dig in!!!!
