Carolyn's Favorite Hot Wings

Recipe #55672 | 2 hours | 1¼ hours prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Mysterygirl

Someone asked me the other day how I made hot wings. Didn't have a printed recipe, just always did the same sort of stuff. Had to sit down and work it out. Here's the recipe. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Note that I put the minimum marinating time in with the prep time.

    I made these for Super Bowl. I used boneless chicken breast cut up into pieces and left the hot sauce/butter combo on the side since we add some people that couldn't handle the "hotness". Big hit - darn teenagers ate whatever leftovers later that night! Thanks for a great recipe!

    I decided to bake these instead of frying, but that was a mistake. But, the taste was sensational, the heat just right and we enjoyed them anyway. Next time I will definitely fry them. Thanks for posting.

    Ok I may be the first to review these but I'm sure I won't be the last. MG, these are out of this world! I have tried many hot wing recipes and was always disappointed, but not in this case. I made these last night as kind of an appie dinner menu. Followed the directions exactly. It was just the 3 of us and all were eaten! I liked that they are still crisp and not soggy. DH kept repeating, these are great. His only comment was he wished they were hotter but that was my fault as I had 4lbs of wings and didn't change the recipe as I wasn't sure so next time I will up the sauce a little. I wish I had left overs!!! Fabulous MG!
