- 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup bread flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar and butter flavored breakfast cereal (such as Cap'n Crunch®), finely ground
- 5 pounds large chicken wings, patted dry with paper towels
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
- 1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon habanero pepper sauce
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Whisk together eggs and milk in a bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together the bread flour and ground cereal. Coat the wings in the egg mixture, then in the cereal mixture.
- Fry the wings, 6 at a time, in the oil until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let wings drain on paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
- While wings are frying, mix the melted butter, hot sauce, bourbon, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and habanero sauce in a large plastic tub with a lid. Place the wings into the sauce, close the lid, and shake to coat wings with sauce.
- Place the wings on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is slightly sticky, about 10 minutes.
