Here is a recipe that I've sort of "come up with" for some really good hot chicken wings; AKA Buffalo wings. I like 'em really, really hot, 'till the sweat runs down your forehead and your ears almost ring! Here's the way to make some great tasting, but flamin' hot wings: Steve R's Hot Wings of Doom... You need: 5 lbs chicken wings, the bigger, the better. 1 12oz. bottle of Red Hot sauce (or equivilent) 1 stick of butter (not margarine!) Cayenne pepper Habanero pepper sauce, pure if you can find it. Try to avoid the type that's mixed with onions, carrots, etc. A bottle of really good spicy Italian zesty salad dressing. The kind with big chunks of garlic, spices, etc. Tabasco sauce Flour Shake 'N Bake mix Directions: Cut the tips off the wings and toss them, then separate at the joint. Get a plastic baggie and put a handful of flour and a little bit of the Shake 'N Bake mix in the bag. Not too much. Do up about five wings at a time in the bag, then put them on a wire rack above a foil-covered sheet pan. You will probably need a couple of such pan-rack deals to be able to fit them all on. Put the two-boners on smooth side up, just barely touching one another. Don't have them touching each other too much or they will come out greasy and slimy. Heat your oven up to 425 degrees and put the in. You're going to want to cook them for about a half hour, then take them out and flip them over with a set of tongs. After this, put them back in. It's normal for a lot of steam and smoke to be produced. My house smells like wings for a day or so after making them! Take the battery out of your smoke detector! When you've flipped them, it's time to start on the evil hot sauce...Get a small sauce pan and melt a whole stick of butter into it. When its liquid, take the bottle of Red Hot sauce and start pouring it in. You will need almost 3/4 of the bottle. The mixture will turn from yellow to orange. Add a little tabasco sauce (approx. 2 teaspoons) and some of the Habanero sauce. Be carefull with this stuff. It is hands down the hottest pepper sauce in the world. The stuff could be used in chemical warfare! But not only is it ferociously hot, it has a most delicious and exotic taste to it. Just put in about a tablespoon or so into the sauce. Add about two teaspoons of the zesty italian salad dressing. Keep stirring the sauce with a wisk until it just starts to bubble, then cut the heat and cover it up. After about an hour total time in the oven, the wings should be done. They should be really crispy - almost dry looking. Take them out. Heat the sauce up again until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Grab the wings one at a time with the tongs and dunk them right into the hot sauce. Hold it under for a few seconds, then tap it on the side of the pan to remove loose sauce. Then sprinkle a little cayenne pepper over it until it's lightly dusted, and drop it into a big 'ole bowl. Do this for all the wings. Mmmmmm Mmmmmm. Doesn't that smell good? Take them into the living room, plop them down on a coffee table, and call your friend/family to join the feast. Bring a roll of paper towels and a trash can in there. Don't serve them on plates or anything. Something about just grabbing them out of a bowl with everyone gathered around makes it pretty cool. Then you can just toss the bones into the trash can, and you've got the paper towels there when you need them. Hints: These things go great with beer, and while watching your favorite sports especially hockey. If you are of the tender sort, you can mellow them out a bit by avoiding the cayenne pepper and using less of the Habenero sauce. But make sure you use some of this hot sauce in it, otherwise they will not truely be Steves Hot Wings of Doom! Enjoy! ----- From: Steve
