Shaw-naé Dixon’s Signature Agave Butter Wings

Ingredients

• Large party chicken wings (The source does not specify a quantity.)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Coarse-ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Pink salt
• Garlic powder (No amount specified; used in seasoning for both the flour and wings.)
• 0.25 cup Paprika
• 1 qt Chicken broth (Used for dipping the wings between dredges.)
• 0.25 cup Onion powder (Listed in the wing ingredients; the instructions do not specify when to add it.)
• Canola oil (For frying; amount not specified.)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (Softened.)
• 3 tbsp Agave syrup (The source gives a range of 3–4 tbsp; listed here at the lower end.)
• Salt (A pinch, for the sauce.)
• Black pepper (A pinch, for the sauce.)

Steps

1. 1

   Mix the all-purpose flour with the coarse-ground black pepper, pink salt, garlic powder, and paprika to make the seasoned flour.

2. 2

   Season the wings with black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. The source does not give separate amounts for this seasoning.

3. 3

   Dredge the seasoned wings in the seasoned flour, then shake off any excess.

4. 4

   Dip each wing in the chicken broth, then dredge it a second time in the seasoned flour.

5. 5

   Heat canola oil to 350°F (175°C).

6. 6

   Fry the wings in the hot oil until golden brown. The source does not specify a frying time or batch size.

7. 7

   Combine the softened butter and agave syrup to make the sauce; add the pinch of salt and pepper listed for the sauce.

8. 8

   Toss the hot fried wings with the agave butter sauce and serve.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of wings, the amount of garlic powder, the quantity of canola oil, frying duration, or servings; yield and timing are estimates. Onion powder is listed among the wing ingredients but is not mentioned in the instructions, so its use is unclear. The instructions say to season the flour with pepper, salt, garlic powder, and paprika, then season the wings with the same mixture; they do not give separate seasoning quantities.
