Pat wings completely dry and toss in Cornstarch until coated; let sit for 10 minutes to hydrate the starch.
Heat oil to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and fry wings for 8 minutes; remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
Increase oil temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and fry wings for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Whisk Sauce ingredients in a pan over medium heat until sugar dissolves, then toss the hot wings in the glaze to coat immediately.
