HOOTER'S BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS
Recipe:
Vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce
Dash ground pepper
Dash garlic powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 chicken wing pieces
On the side:
Bleu cheese dressing
Celery sticks
1. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F. You want just enough oil to cover the wings entirely -
an inch or so deep at least.
2. Combine the butter, hot sauce, ground pepper and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low
heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients well-blended.
3. Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl.
4. If the wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them. Put the wings into a large bowl and
sprinkle the flour mixture over them, coating each wing evenly. Put the wings in the refrigerator for 60
to 90 minutes. (This will help the breading to stick to the wings when fried.)
5. Put all the wings into the hot oil and fry them for 10 to 15 minutes or until some parts of the wings
begin to turn dark brown.
6. Remove the wings from the oil to a paper towel to drain. But don't let them sit too long, because
you want to serve the wings hot.
7. Quickly put the wings into a large bowl. Add the hot sauce and stir, coating all of the wings
evenly. You could also use a large plastic container (such as Tupperware) with a lid for this. Put all
the wings inside the container, add the sauce, put on the lid, then shake. Serve with bleu cheese
dressing and celery sticks on the side.
