DEFCON WING PREP

Defcon Sauces is proud of their award winning wing prep.  This process has been used in all competitions and continues to win awards.  It is our pleasure to pass this on to our faithful followers:

 STEP 1:  Take 3-4 pounds of fresh, naked (no breading or seasoning) jumbo chicken wings and put them into 375 degree canola oil (best in a turkey fryer with approximately 2 1/2 gallons of oil).  Be EXTREMELY careful with this step, hot oil doesn't tickle!!!!

 STEP 2: Allow to fry for 4-5 minutes, then remove from oil, and stab each wing section ONCE with a 2 pronged BBQ fork.  After all pieces are punctured, put back in the 375 oil.

 STEP 3: Allow to cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until crispy on the outside.

 STEP 4: Take try basket directly from fryer, shake off most of the oil, and add directly into a roasting pan that has 3/4 inch of the preferred heat level of DEFCON Sauce, preferably heated.  Toss until coated, and ingest!!
