This was my first time making wings of any kind so I wanted to make sure they came out good and that the sauce would stick to the wings. GOOD LUCK! Ingredients:  24 Wings BBQ sauce of your choice 1 cup Flour  2 Eggs 1 tblsp water Salt & Pepper 2 tblsp Corn Starch Vegetable Oil or frying oil of your choice Cooking spray Directions: Wash and dry your wings and prepare to cut. When you buy chicken wings from a meat counter, they will consist of three segments: the drum, the flat, double-boned "wing" part, and the tip. Begin by removing the smallest of the three segments, the wing tip. Look for the knuckle; ideally, that's the best spot to disengage the tip from the rest of the wing. Next, remove the drumstick-shaped segment (called the drummette) from the midsection of the wing. You will get 3 parts of the wing as shown below: In one bowl add a cup of flour, corn starch, salt, and pepper and set aside. In another add 2 eggs with a...
