Spicy Fingerlickin Hot Wings

Hot Wings are one of those foods that pack an incredible amount of flavor and hear in a small bite. They are as American as apple pie, but have rock star status all over the world. No football game or gathering of friends and family is complete without a plate of hot wings. These are the perfect appetizer or make a great meal when paired with a great Cole Slaw or veggies to balance the heat of the hot wings. 

These wings have a layer of dry seasoning and are deep fried and topped off with a hot flavorful sauce. Blue Cheese or Ranch Dressing and the traditional carrots and celery are great accompaniments, but you can also let your imagination run wild and pair with many other fresh raw vegetables. You can also make this healthier buy baking instead of frying.

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic herb seasoning
10 chicken wings
oil for deep frying
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup Franks hot sauce
1 dash ground black pepper
1 dash garlic powder

Directions 

 In a small bowl mix together the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and, garlic seasoning and salt. Place chicken wings in a large nonporous glass dish or bowl and sprinkle flour mixture over them until they are evenly coated. Cover dish or bowl and refrigerate for 60 to 90 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). The oil should be just enough to cover wings entirely, an inch or so deep. Combine the butter, hot sauce, pepper and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir together and heat until butter is melted and mixture is well blended. Remove from heat and reserve for serving. 

Fry coated wings in hot oil for 10 to 15 minutes, or until parts of wings begin to turn brown. Remove from heat, place wings in serving bowl and pour sauce over wings.

Have a delicious day!
