Sweet Garlic Sticky Wings

My boys had been asking me to make sticky wings for a while.  They really like the Buffalo version, but I wanted to try a new sauce so I made these.  Yum!  If you like wings, these are really good!  Sweet with just a kick of red pepper flake heat that hits you in the back of the throat but doesn't burn your tongue or over power the flavor.  I adapted the recipe from here: wings

Sweet Garlic Sticky Wings
4 lbs. raw chicken wings (with the skin on)
salt and pepper
hot sauce (Frank's or any kind you like)
flour
garbage bag
For the glaze/sauce:
2 Tbsp. garlic, minced
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup rice vinegar
3 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. red chili pepper flakes (more if you like hot or less if you like mild)
           Cut the wings into three pieces at the joints and discard the tip.

           Salt and pepper the wings.  Pour 1/4 cup hot sauce on the wings and toss them to coat well.

             Place the wings into a garbage bag with 2 cups flour.  Hold bag closed and shake to toss and coat wings with flour.

             In a large skillet or cast iron pan, heat up 1/2 cup oil on high heat.  Fry the wings until cooked golden brown and all the way throught the meat.  About 5-6 minutes on each side. Remove and  let oil drain.

             In a small bowl combine the glaze ingredients.  Place the cooked wings into a large mixing bowl.  Spoon over the wings and toss to coat.
