Hooters Buffalo Wings

 By Todd Wilbur

Total Time: 27 mins
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins


Ingredients:

Servings: 2

¼ cup butter
¼ cup louisiana hot sauce
1 dash pepper , Ground
1 dash garlic powder
½ cup flour
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
10 chicken wings
bleu cheese salad dressing
celery
vegetable oil , for frying

Directions:


Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a small bowl.

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.)

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees.

You want just enough oil to cover the wings entirely -- an inch or so deep at least. 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 are well blended.

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.

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. Quickly put the wings into a large bowl.

Add the hot sauce and stir, coating all the wings evenly.

You could also use a large plastic container 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.


*I used Franks hot sauce, after covering wings in flour mixture I let them sit in the refrigerator for 4 hours, and I served with Ranch. Next time I will let the wings sit a little longer in the sauce instead of just covering them and shaking in a covered bowl.
