Favorite Hot Wings Recipe

For parties, I like to make these wings in advance and keep them warm in a slow cooker. The mild sauce is finger-licking good! —Tracie Calkin, Casper, Wyoming

Favorite Hot Wings Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 10 Servings

10 20 30

Ingredients

20 whole chicken wings (about 4 pounds)
Vegetable oil for deep-fat frying
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1-1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
2 to 3 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce
3 to 4 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
Celery and carrot sticks
Ranch or blue cheese salad dressing

Directions

Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tips. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry chicken wings, a few at a time, until juices run clear. Drain on paper towels.
In a large skillet, melt butter. Stir in the brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic and hot sauce; bring just to a boil. Add chicken wings; turn to coat. Cook and turn for 5-10 minutes or until well coated. Serve with celery and carrot sticks and salad dressing for dipping. Yield: 10 servings.

Editor's Note: Uncooked chicken wing sections (wingettes) may be substituted for whole chicken wings.
