Notes:
The brown sugar I added in the recipe was originally intended to help the Turkey Wings get that rich dark, golden brown color had I baked them (the sugars would have broken down and crystallized).
If you opt to bake, you might not get the dark rich color, deep fried turkey wings are known for. If you try adding just a little bit of brown sugar, it should do a world of difference. You could also reduce the oven temperature to about 300 degrees and let bake for a longer period of time, up to an hour.
