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.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 lbs chicken wings
1/2 cup frank hot sauce or Crystal hot sauce
1 cup flour
salt
pepper
cajun seasoning

1/2 cup butter
ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
celery rib

Directions

1
Cut wings into pieces discarding tips.
2
Wash and pat dry with paper towels.
3
Place pieces into a dish or a large baggie, add ½ C hot sauce and seal.

Drain wings but do not pat dry.
8
Add wings a few at a time to baggie, shaking to cover, then remove.

We make these last night. I prepped my wings early in the morning and put them in the ziploc bags. (I tripled the amount since we were having company.) I added buttermilk with the hot sauce cuz I had some to use up. These were fabulous. I offered the sauce at the table along with barbecue sauce since there were kids eating also. I will make these again, they are soooo good. Who needs to order out when you can' make these at home. Thank you for sharing the recipe with us, its delicious!!!

These wings did not dissapoint! I made a few changes though. For the flour mixture, I did not have cajun seasoning on hand so I used 1 tsp soul food seasoning as well as 1 tsp Paula Deen's House Seasoning that I made up myself and keep on hand. The breading was perfect--not too salty nor too bland. Prior to breading I did soak my wings in Frank's Red Hot Wings Sauce(imo the best for chicken!) for 8 hours. Just so you know if you like your wings really hot, Frank's has all the flavor but only has a little kick to it. Instead of deep frying, I baked my wings at 500 degrees(Frank's provides this alternative to deep frying on the bottle) on a rack on top of a foiled cookie sheet(an absolute must if you want crispy chicken) for 20-25 min. I've made this twice now so the last time I made one other change. Instead of 1/2 cup of butter, I only used 1/4 cup of butter because I was appalled at how much fat was still floating around the bottom of the bowl--this after all the wings had been thoroughly soaked. I did not--nor did my family notice a change in flavor by this adjustment. Thank you Mystery Girl for providing this wonderful 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!
