Spicy Garlic Wing Sauce

Back when Mr. Smith and I were working on getting hitched, we registered for all types of necessities. You know- wine glasses (check), sheets (check), towels (check)... and what do we have here? oh yeah... the fry daddy type thingy that Mr. Smith needed.

You know, since married life was certain to bring buffalo wings and french fries. Well, as you can see, I broke down in the blizzard this week and took that bad boy out. You can also see the glass of wine that helped coax that decision....
This was actually not as painful and messy as I thought, so I fear there will be more wing type challenges ahead.

Spicy Garlic Wing Sauce
From: Top Secret Restaurant Recipes- 2 *
1 cup Frank's cayenne pepper sauce
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons water
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Combine all ingredients except egg yolk, water, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Heat sauce over medium heat until boiling, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and allow it to cool, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
While the sauce cools, vigorously whisk egg yolk with water in a medium bowl for 2 minutes or until color is pale yellow. Whisk in cornstarch until dissolved.
When cooled, drizzle the hot sauce mixture into the egg yolk mixture in a steady stream while rapidly whisking. Cover the sauce and chill until needed.
Cook 20-30 wings according to your fryers directions. Ours is 350 degrees for 12 minutes (cooked in batches). Put the cooked wings in a plastic container with a lid along with 1/4 to 1/3 cup of sauce and give a good shake to cover chicken.
Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing and celery/ carrot sticks.
Enjoy!
*Note: This book makes me laugh- they actually had to have two volumes of this? and they're so top secret that they sell it at TJMaxx? Killing me....
