Hot Wings

If you asked my wife what her favorite meal is, she would either say Hot Wings or Tiny Spicy Chicken.  She decided that we should have a hot wing party a couple of times this summer.  So, the other night she invited some of her siblings and parents over.  She asked them to each bring some wings.  We ended up making somewhere around 100 wings and a bunch of french fries.  I also made some chicken strips for the kids.  So with about 100 wings and 9 adults, we ended up with about 5 wings at the end of the night.  And a bit of a mess, but my wonderful wife got that cleaned up.  I learned that if you soak potatoes in water, as my recipe said, then try to fry them without drying them off pretty good, they will boil the oil over the pan and make you jump pretty quick. (and screech like a little girl) Oh well, its worth it.  The recipe is a guess.  I just throw stuff together, but hopefully it's close.

Hot Wings

2 cups of flour
1 Tbsp Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning

Mix in a ziplock back.  Cut wings at joints and drop in the bag.  Shake well.  Pull the wings out of the bag and place in a glass pan.  Cover with cling wrap and place in the fridge for at least an hour.  This mix should be enough for around 50 wings.  Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a pan or fryer.  Fry wings 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring now and then.  Drain on paper towels.  Enjoy.

Sauce

We buy Franks Hot Sauce and then add butter to make our favorite sauce.  Mix equal amounts of melted butter and hot sauce together.  You can make it hotter by adding less butter, or cooler by adding more.  My brother in law makes a sauce that is, I think, about equal parts brown sugar and hot sauce.  It is pretty good as well.
