HOOTERS BUFFALO WINGS (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• 90 MINS BEFORE GAME TIME:.
• Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a large bowl using a wire wisk to blend the flours well.
• If the wings are frozen, defrost and dry them very well with paper towels.
• Toss the wings with the flour mixture, 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.)
• 30 MINS BEFORE GAME TIME:.
• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees.
• Put as many wings into the hot oil as will fit comfortably so they are still covered entirely by the oil.
• Fry for 10 to 15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown. (10 mins works for me).
• Remove the wings from the oil to a paper towel to drain (just don't let them sit too long, because you want to serve the wings hot).
• Repeat the frying process as needed until all wings are cooked.
• While the wings are frying, melt butter in a small sauce pan and stir in hot sauce, ground pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer over very low heat just enough to keep warm until ready to use.
• When wings are done put them in a large serving bowl and pour the warm sauce over them, coating evenly (if it has a lid you can cover and shake).
• Serve with a small bowl of Bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks.

BUFFALO WINGS LIKE HOOTERS

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and peppers. Coat chicken entirely in the flour mixture; refrigerate coated wings for 1 hour; coat chicken again with remaining flour mixture. In a 2-quart saucepan, heat butter and hot sauce just until butter melts; turn heat to low and keep warm on stove top. Deep-fry chicken, 8 - 10 pieces at a time, in 375 degree oil (vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil) for 13 minutes, turning once or twice. Drain chicken on a wire cooling rack for 30 seconds, then immediately toss fried chicken in buffalo sauce mixture and remove with a slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining chicken. Adjusting the spiciness of the sauce: As is, the recipe produces a medium sauce. To change the amount of spiciness, simply adjust the butter-to-hot sauce-ratio: Mild: Use 3/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup hot sauce. Hot: Use 1/4 cup butter and 3/4 cup hot sauce. Notes: I use Frank's® Buffalo Wing sauce in the recipe, as I enjoy the flavor of Buffalo sauce, but not the heat. If you like spice, you can use regular Frank's® Hot Sauce. I'm sure another hot sauce like Tabasco® would work fine, but Frank's® has a great flavor, not just heat.
