3/4 cup Sweet baby's Ray Barbecue sauce (Recipe here)

Directions/Instructions:

1. Add flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika in a small bowl.  Whisk to combine.  Pour the flour mixture over the chicken and coat evenly.  Set in the fridge for 30 minutes, and let the coat set in.
2. Fill a deep fryer with 3 inches of vegetable oil and preheat the oil to 350 deg F.  Preheat the grill to high heat.
3. Prepare the sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bringing it up to boil.  Then simmer for 5 mins and set aside.
4. When the oil is hot, fry the wings in batches until golden brown about 8-10 mins, and drain them on a wire rack over a baking sheet or paper towel-lined plate.
5. When all the wings are done frying, transfer them into a sauce dish and pour the prepared Daytona sauce over the chicken and mix well.  Make sure the chicken is fully coated.
6. Transfer them back to the baking rack and place them in the preheated grill/oven at 357 deg C to bake for 3 mins.
7. Remove the wings from the grill/oven and brush them with the remaining sauce.  Serve them straight up or with dipping sauce on the side.  Enjoy!
