Chicken Wings Recipes

With the Championship playoff games a few days away, I thought I would find a few chicken wing recipes to serve. The first recipe is for spicy Buffalo wings and the second is for a sweet, sticky wings recipe.

Buffalo Wings

• oil for deep frying
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup hot sauce
• dash of black pepper
• dash of garlic powder
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 12 chicken wings

Heat butter, hot sauce, black pepper and garlic powder in a saucepan until the butter melts. Mix well and remove from heat.

In a small bowl mix the flour and spices together. Dredge wings in flour and place in a large bowl or dish. Cover bowl and refridgerate for 1 hour.

Heat oil in deep fryer to 375°. Oil must be deep enough to cover wings by 1 inch. Fry coated chicken in oil for 10-15 minutes or until the wings start to brown. Place cooked wings in a bowl and toss to coat with the sauce.

Mahogany Wings

• 3 pounds wings, split and tips discarded
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

In a medium bowl mix all ingredients. Add wings and toss to coat chicken. Cover and refridgerate 1 hour, turning chicken a few times.

Heat oven to 375°. Arrange chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. Bake for 50 minutes, brushing chicken with remainging sauce often. Turn chicken over midway through bake time. Cook until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear.
