Buffalo Wings


Wings:
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
20 chicken wings

Sauce:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup hot sauce
Garlic powder, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

In a small bowl, mix together flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Place chicken wings in a large bowl and sprinkle flour mixture over them until they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1.5-2 hours. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray generously with non-stick cooking spray. Place wings on the cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes, turning once. Broil for 2 minutes, turning once. Toss with sauce. For the sauce: combine butter, hot sauce, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl and microwave until melted. Stir for a couple of minutes until well blended.

This is also another recipe that I found on food.com (I seriously have a problem). Vann and I had a couple of friends over for the Super Bowl last night, and when we talked about all of the appetizers we were going to have, I found this recipe listed as one of the best 10 wing recipes on the website. We had to try it. I have never made wings before, and these were wonderful! I actually prefer boneless wings over bone-in, but these really were awesome. We bought a 4 lb. bag of Tyson chicken wings (that were GIGANTIC by the way), and followed the directions pretty much as stated. I did add some cayenne pepper to the sauce, because the boys like their wings hot. And instead of just coating the wings in the sauce and serving them, we poured the sauce over them, lightly shook them, and then threw them back into the oven to allow the sauce to bake into the wings a little bit. It was great! We love having appetizer nights every once in a while, so this is something that we will make many more times to come!
