Football season is here! Looking for something to serve up on game day? Try my spicy hot wings! You can make it as spicy or mild as you want. I like to double fry my wings for that extra crunchy goodness. Again, this really doesn’t need exact measurements, the ingredients are measured according to your taste. Below is just an estimation of my measurements.

Serves 1-2 people – depending on how many wings you can eat!

Ingredients (estimated measurements):

• 12 chicken wings or drumettes (about half a tray)
• 1/3 of a cup = equal parts potato or corn starch and all purpose flour.
• 1/2 – 1 tsp of garlic powder (I love garlic)
• 1/2 tsp each: Onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
• Salt to taste
• 3/4 cup of your favorite hot sauce
• 1/2 stick of unsalted butter
• Peanut Oil
• Optional: Green onions, ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, celery sticks, and carrots sticks.

Directions:

1. Combine the flour/starch mixture with all the dry ingredients and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
2. Wash the chicken wings and coat in the flour mixture.
3. Set chicken aside for about 20 minutes.
4. Heat up peanut oil to about 350 degrees.
5. Fry chicken in batches. Cook chicken for 4 minutes on each side (8 minutes total) and set aside on a rack to cool.
6. Once chicken has cooled down, reheat of the peanut oil and re-fry chicken in batches for a total of 12 minutes or until golden brown. Set chicken aside on a rack to drain excess oil off.
7. In a separate sauce pan, heat up your hot sauce with the butter on low heat.
8. Coat chicken in sauce and serve.
9. Garnish with green onions and serve with ranch or blue cheese dip, celery, and carrots.
