Excellent recipe. It's a keeper in my families favorites. My husband and son don't like things too spicy so I substitute water for the hot sauce; it works great.
Then I just pass the Louisiana hot sauce around the table for the rest of us. Thank you for sharing Marie.

Marie these chicken wings are absolutely fantastic... I never used cornstarch on chicken before, however; I will from here on.. They are so crispy, taste couldn't be better.. Beautiful golden brown.. I used a electric skillet to fry them, did so for 20 minutes and they were perfect.. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.
