Instructions
- Spread chicken wings out in a 13 x 9-inch pan.

- Refrigerate for 24 hours to marinate.
- Remove wings from marinade, coat with flour, and fry in a deep fryer until done.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the wings for up to 48 hours. If you want to reduce the heat, use less Tabasco sauce or substitute with a milder hot sauce. You can also use fresh jalapenos instead of crushed for added texture. To make them crispy, double fry the wings: first at a lower temperature, then at a higher temperature for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Glen's Hot Wings with celery sticks and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. They pair beautifully with crispy baked chicken livers for a delicious spread. For a complete meal, consider serving with a side of scalloped potatoes, which are great for potluck dinners.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.
