Secret Sauce Drummets
Finger Licken GOOD!
My Secret Sauce Drummets that will be making over and over again.
These are double deep fried with a thick crust and a drippy sweet and sour sauce that makes you lick your sweet lips and pucker from the tang.
The secret … (my base is Baby Rays hickory brown sugar bbq sauce – but you can really use any of your favorite – it’s the extra mixture that makes it sooo delicious)
Now if you don’t want the thick crisp – you can just do the first coating with the “marinate”’and fry. Still crispy and still delish – the thick coating is just next level southern fried wings.
Make sure to have your chicken out on counter for 20-30 minutes before doing anything. Cold chicken won’t be as tender.
Ingredients
For the first Coating Marinate:
Salt & Pepper
1/2 cup corn starch
Coffee Rub: 2 tbsp. good quality ground coffee
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp. Kosher salt
3 tbsp onion flakes
3 tbsp. Sweet paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp. Garlic powder
For the second THICK COATING:
1 cup flour
Mixed with 3 tbsp seltzer
Salt and pepper and 2 tbsp. of the coffee spice mixture
For the wet mixture:
2 eggs mixed with 1 Tbsp water (mix together)
FOR THE SECRET SAUCE:
1 cup BABY Rays hickory brown sugar
1/2 cup favorite sweet chili sauce
Add 1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Start with the Marinate:
Mix your Drummets in a large bowl with all these ingredients. Make sure to pat the chicken dry FIRST before you do this.
Let the chicken sit in this mixture for at least 20 minutes.
Mix together the thick coating crumble flour with your fingers.
Dredge your chicken in the wet mixture and then dip in the thick coating mixture to coat. You should have a raggedy looking covered chicken.
Now deep fry one time for 2 minutes.
Remove and deep fry again for another 2-3 minutes till golden.
Let them rest while making the secret sauce.
Mix together all the secret sauce ingredients together till smooth
Dip and coat your fried wings and then EAT!
