Hot-ish Buffalo Wings

Buffalo Wings

Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs buffalo wings
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup hot pepper sauce
  • 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions:

  1. Remove the tips of wings and cut at the joint to separate drum from flat part. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
  2. In a bowl, season flour with garlic powder, paprika and cayenne pepper. Dredge chicken wings in flour mixture to fully coat.
  3. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil and deep-fry wings for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and juices run clear. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
  4. While chicken wings are frying, melt butter in a saucepan and add hot pepper sauce. Stir to combine and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Dip fried wings in sauce to fully coat. Serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Notes:
I made these last night to try something new for a "finger food" to bring for our March Madness kickoff party.  I really liked this recipe because even though it is still breaded and deep fried, I felt like it wasn't very heavy.  (I usually HATE deep fried anything).  I think it wasn't heavy because you don't use any egg or milk to get more flour to stick.  Still pretty fatty, but not as heavy.  Jeff was a big fan too.  Then I served it with the traditional celery and carrot slices, and blue cheese.  I still have to post Jeff's specialty too!
