A family favorite . . . Buffalo Chicken Wings

One of the things  that always makes my guys happy is buffalo chicken wings . . . and they like them hot!  But I don't necessarily like frying them . . . too much grease and the house smells like fried food . . . So I found this recipe and it really works!

Buffalo Hot Wings (not fried)

1 c flour

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp salt

20 chicken wings 

Mix together the dry ingredients.  Put in a large plastic zipper bag.  Add part of the wings and shake to coat.  Repeat till all wings are coated.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, place the wings on an aluminum covered cookie sheet that has been generously sprayed with non-stick spray.  Bake in a 400* oven for 40 - 50 minutes, turning a couple of times.   

While the wings are cooking, prepare the hot sauce.

1/4 c butter, melted

1/4 hot sauce  (I prefer Franks)

2 dashes black pepper

1 tsp. garlic powder (more if a more garlic flavor is preferred)

Mix these ingredients together.  Toss the cooked wings in the sauce and serve with celery and bleu cheese dressing!!
