Wing Night

So this past Wednesday was our epic wing night and I must say it was a success! The dinner (because we also made salad and served yams which in my book counts as "dinner") was a joint effort between me and Jacob and I daresay we make quite a good cooking team. Everything was cooked well and served in a timely manner. Ok, now on to the important stuff. The wing recipe (posted below) I found off Allrecipes.com and was pretty simple, not to many ingredients and the flavor lived up to our expectations. We did, however use boneless breast instead of actual wings because 1) I prefer breast meat over wing meat and 2) They were cheaper considering you get more of the actual meat than bones. The other cool thing about these wings is instead of being fried, the recipe just bakes them instead which gave them a softer outer coating, but the sauce still came through strong, and as a bonus they have less fat because of no added frying oil. Now, for the tallies...

Baked Buffalo Wings

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 20 chicken wings
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and lightly grease with cooking spray. Place the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt into a resealable plastic bag, and shake to mix. Add the chicken wings, seal, and toss until well coated with the flour mixture. Place the wings onto the prepared baking sheet, and place into the refrigerator. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
3. Whisk together the melted butter and hot sauce in a small bowl. Dip the wings into the butter mixture, and place back on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and crispy on the outside, about 45 minutes. Turn the wings over halfway during cooking so they cook evenly.

Wing Recipe and some new stuff!

So I realize we are lagging behind on posting but it's not my fault that restaurants cost money and we are poor, lowly college students. However, in honor of saving money we will be making our own homemade hot wings this week. Yep, that's right people we are going to try and master the art of wing making. So, we will post the recipe and rate how our own wings turned out. Also, I (Janelle) have realized we are lacking in having pictures of the wings we partake in, which is indeed a sad fact to behold. Therefore, from this moment on I declare we start posting pictures of the spicy, gleaming gems we eat.
