CRISPY WINGS WITH HOT HONEY SAUCE

Steps:

• For the wings: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil, then place a metal rack on the pan.
• Pat the wings dry with kitchen paper, then sprinkle with the salt, pepper and smoked paprika on both sides. Place them on the rack, making sure they are not touching. Bake for 25 minutes, then pull them out. Use tongs to turn them over, then put them back in the oven and bake until golden brown and cooked through, an additional 20 minutes .
• For the hot honey sauce: Meanwhile, add the honey, barbecue sauce, Louisiana hot sauce, vinegar, jalapenos and serranos to a small pot over low heat. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook on low until reduced and slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.

• For the garnish: Place the wings on a platter and sprinkle over the chopped parsley. Serve with a bowl of ranch dressing for dipping.

In a saucepan, heat the cayenne sauce and butter over medium-low heat. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce. Let it bubble up, and then turn off the heat. Place the wings in an ovenproof dish and pour the hot sauce over the top. Toss to coat, and then bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

SUZY'S CRUNCHY HOT WINGS

Steps:

• Separate chicken wings at joints and discard tips.
• Place into a large bowl of cool water.
• Add the Kosher salt and stir well.
• Let the wings sit for at least 30 minutes. If sitting outside the fridge, add a few ice cubes to keep the water chilled.
• Mix flour and black pepper in one end of a shallow pan.
• Place oil in a heavy iron skillet (or one that heats evenly), and heat to 350 degrees.
• While oil is heating, prepare an assembly line, taking wing segments out of cold water and dredging in flour mixture.
• Stack prepared wings at back of dredging pan and wait for oil to come to temperature.
• Fry wings in hot oil until they are golden brown, turning frequently.
• Meanwhile, prepare sauce in a small saucepan by mixing the hot sauce with the butter and bring to a slow boil.
• As wings are taken from the hot oil, dip them into the boiling sauce, then drain on paper towels.
• Keep platter on low heat in the oven to keep warm in between frying batches, if you can keep people's hands off of them!
• *The key to crunchy wings is to allow the chicken to absorb the brine, and then to have the sauce boiling when the cooked wings are dipped into it. This keeps the wings from getting greasy.
• Serve with Bodacious blue cheese dip and fresh, crisp celery sticks, cold beer or iced tea!

SUPER CRUNCH OVEN COOKED HONEY DIPPED WINGS

Steps:

• Whisk together the buttermilk, hot pepper sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken wings, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 12 to 24 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the crushed cornflakes, flour, cornmeal, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, and squeeze off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Press the wings into the cornflake mixture and place onto the prepared baking sheets. Spray the top of the wings with nonstick cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is no longer pink and is pulled easily from the bone, 30 to 40 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, stir together the honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat until the honey thins. Keep warm until the wings are ready. Once the chicken has cooked, place the wings into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the honey sauce. Toss until evenly coated. Now you will have a big pile of hot, crunchy, spicy, sticky wings.
