2quartsvegetable oilto 3 quarts or enough to fill your deep fryer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Instructions
Heat the deep fryer to 350°F. Season the chicken wings with the paprika, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic, then add the hot sauce, soy sauce, and peach preserves. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
Fill the deep fryer with 2 to 3 quarts vegetable oil (or enough to reach the fill line) and fry the wings in batches for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked wings to a paper towel-lined plate and let the excess oil drain for a minute.
Place the wings in a large bowl, pour the warm peach sauce over the top, and toss until every wing is evenly coated.
Serve immediately while hot with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
Notes
For the crispiest wings, avoid overcrowding the fryer and cook the wings in batches.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to make the glaze milder or spicier to suit your taste.
