Roxy - love the budget-friendly recipes. I'm planning on making some wings for the game, but my Dad is laying off spicy foods right now and I only have spicy wing sauce recipes. Do you happen to have one that's not so potent, but not bland either? Thanks in advance!

In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper.

 

Coat chicken in flour mixture; refrigerate for 1 hour; coat chicken again with remaining flour mixture.

 

In a small saucepan, heat BBQ sauce and honey until warm; turn heat to low and keep warm.

 

Deep-fry chicken, 8-10 pieces at a time, in 375 degree oil for 10-13 minutes or until done. Drain chicken on a paper-lined plate or brown paper bags.

 

Immediately toss fried chicken with BBQ sauce mixture.

 

 

Buffalo Wings:

 

Vegetable Oil-(for frying)

4 T. butter

1/4 cup Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce

Dash of Ground Black Pepper

Dash of Garlic Powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. Paprika

10 chicken wings, cut into thirds and wing tips, discarded-(defrosted and dried if frozen)

Bleu cheese dressing

Celery sticks

 

Pour 2 inches of oil into deep fryer and heat to 375 degrees.

 

In small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add Hot Sauce, black pepper and garlic powder and stir until well mixed.

 

In a gallon size zip-type bag, mix flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt .

 

Rinse chicken wings under cold water and drain excess water. Drop wings into bag a few at a time, shaking to coat after each addition. When all wings have been coated, remove from bag and place on wax paper-lined plate or tray. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to help set coating.

 

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

 

Carefully lower a few wings at a time into oil. Fry 15-20 minutes or till light brown. Drain wings on paper towel and repeat with remaining wings.

 

Place cooked wings in large ovenproof bowl or baking pan; pour sauce over wings and stir to coat thoroughly. Place in oven 5 minutes or so to make sure all wings are served hot.

 

Serve wings with celery sticks and Bleu Cheese Dressing on the side.

 

Buffalo Chicken Wings:

 

2- 1/2 lbs. chicken wing pieces

3/4 cup Frank's® REDHOT® Buffalo Wing Sauce

 

 

1. Bake wings in foil-lined pan at 500 °F on lowest oven rack for 20 to 25 minutes until crispy, turning once.

 

2. Toss wings in Buffalo Wing Sauce.

 

 

Tip: You may substitute 1/2 cup FRANK'S® REDHOT® Sauce mixed with 1/3 cup melted butter for the Buffalo Wing Sauce.

 

Boneless Wings:

 

1 cup flour

2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

¼ tsp. Cayenne Pepper

1/4 tsp. paprika

1 egg

1 cup milk

1 T. margarine

 

Combine flour, salt, peppers and paprika in a medium bowl.

 

In a small bowl, whisk together milk and eggs.

 

Slice each chicken breast into 6 pieces.

 

Preheat between 4 to 6 cups of vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees.

 

One or two at a time, dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then into the breading; then repeat the process so each piece of the chicken is coated twice. When all chicken pieces have been breaded, arrange them on a plate and chill for 15 minutes

 

When the chicken is done chilling, drop each piece into the hot oil and fry for 5 to 6 minutes or until each piece has browned.

 

As the chicken fries, combine the hot sauce and margarine in a small bowl. Microwave sauce for 20 to 30 seconds or just until the margarine is melted, then stir to combine

 

Combine the hot sauce and margarine in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until margarine is melted and ingredients are blended

 

When chicken pieces are done frying, remove them to a plate lined with a couple paper towels.

 

Place the chicken pieces into a covered container such as a large jar with a lid. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the container, cover, and then shake gently until each piece of chicken is coated with sauce

 

Pour the chicken onto a plate and serve with bleu cheese dressing and 3 inch celery stalk pieces on the side.

 

 

These are not actually chicken wings. They are made from boneless chicken breast fillets. They resemble chicken wings when served.

I'll have to try them out. Thanks!

Not to steal any thunder from Ms. Roxy, but last year I went to Burger King and got 15 Whopper Jr's for $1 per. I cut them in quarters, and stuck a toothpick in them and took them to the party.

 

I kid you not, they were the first thing gone. All the ladies there were pissed because they took the time to make stuff to bring and my Whopper Jr's were the hit of the night.

 

On another note, my fiance says that I can carry on that tradition (mainly by my friends requests) but that we have to actually make something from here on out.
