This is a recipe from Drew Cersa (the Wing King) who recently appeared on the Live with Regis and Kelly show, in a cooking segment that featured appetizer recipes for Super Bowl Sunday get-togethers. This recipe took top honors in a Bobby Flay ThrowDown! competition. It sounded so scrumptious and perfect for a Super Bowl gathering, and I thought others might be interested in preparing it for their Super Bowl festivities.
Chop up and sauté the shallot & garlic cloves with the butter.
Add the dark beer, chili sauce, and BBQ sauce, and stir for 1 minute.
Add the ancho chili peppers, brown sugar, honey, and cayenne pepper sauce, and stir for 2 minutes.
While you are creating the sauce, drop 50 chicken wings (the amount you drop in at one time will depend on the size of your fryer) in a deep fryer until fully cooked. (The wings can also be grilled or roasted instead of deep fried.).
Once wings are fully cooked, add the wings to a large mixing bowl. Add the sauce, and flip gently to be sure the wings are thoroughly coated with the sauce.
