Sticky Black-Pepper Chicken Wings

Keep the glaze thin and add it at serving time to preserve as much crunch as possible.

Chicken safety: Keep raw chicken refrigerated, avoid cross-contamination, and verify at least 165°F / 73.9°C internally with a food thermometer. Deep frying uses very hot oil; follow suitable equipment safety guidance and do not leave frying unattended.
