!!!Hot Wings!!!

12 wings, washed, cut at the joints, tips removed and discarded. (or u can get 24 drummettes already cut up.) Or more. the sauce goes a long way.
2 cup Franks Original Red Hot Sauce
6 tbsp. butter, sliced thin
garlic powder to taste. (NOT GARLIC SALT)
peanut oil for frying
large glass bowl to make sauce in
paper towels

preheat oven to 400 degrees. put wings in pans and put in the oven. While wings are baking mix sauce.

Sauce:

put hot sauce and butter in a glass bowl (or add the butter to the glass measuring cup)

Cover with a paper towel and microwave in high for 3-4 minutes. The melted butter will rise to the top and separate from the sauce., Stir it until it combines. Cover, put back in the microwave another 2-4 minutes, stir again, it should look a little thicker once combined. set aside.

I use a deep fryer that just turns off the light when it's hot enough. So at this point pour peanut oil in the fryer and heat til ready to fry. (I have no idea of the temp. I'm no chef, lol)

pull out of the oven pans 8-15 wings depending on the size of your fryer. drop them in and let them cook. The chicken is done when it is starting to pull away from the bone. It cooks pretty quick, maybe 5-10 min.

Dump fried wings on paper towels and immediately drop more wings in the fryer. sprinkle fried wings liberally with garlic powder then dip in hot sauce. If you want them to stay crisp dunk until coated and place in a clean bowl. If you don't care if they stay crisp then leave them in the sauce. They don't get soggy but they do soften up some.

Repeat till all wings are done or you burn your tastebuds out of your head.

Other Tips

WEAR AN APRON. This sauce stains bad and does not come out of clothes or dish towels or washrags.

Do not, under any circumstances, touch your eyes once your fingers come in contact with the sauce. Might burn for days. It's horrible. Voice of experience talking. =[

My step dad triples the sauce and just dumps all the wings in there as he goes. like hot wing soup. Some ppl like that.

On'ly invite people you actually like to eat these wings because they will be around a long time and OFTEN once you feed them these. It would stink if you fed them to people that get on your nerves and you could never get rid of them bahahahaha. Sorry, where was I?

ah. Tips.

If you are going to make these a lot invest in a deep fryer of quality. I went through 5 or 6 Fry Daddies over the period of 4-6 years before I got wise and invested in a really good one. That one lasted from the mid 90's to around 2004-5. Then my wonderful and devoted wing eatin husband Bill got me a Delonghi deep fryer and IT.IS.THE.BOMB. Even has a nice spout at the bottom to drain and clean it with very little fuss.

You can probably fry and dip way more wings than 24 in this sauce recipe amt.... I am just not sure so I stayed on the conservative safe side.

Sauce stays good in the fridge up to a week or so. At least we have eaten it up to that point without any ill effects.

I dedicate this recipe to my dear Chrissybear, who loves my wings almost as much as my husband and gets them more often too. lol.
