Friday Faves: Super Bowl Sunday Wings

Ingredients:

2 pounds chicken wings, separated at the joint
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup hot sauce (your favorite kind!)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vinegar

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are cooked through and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce and vinegar. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
When the wings are done, carefully remove them from the oven (they’ll be hot!). Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat.

Tips:

For extra crispy wings, try air frying them instead of baking.
To add a smoky flavor, you can try grilling your wings before tossing them in the sauce. Just be careful not to overcook them!
Don’t be afraid to experiment with your hot sauce. You can use a mild sauce for a milder flavor or a super-hot sauce if you like a little heat.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve your wings with your favorite dipping sauces, such as blue cheese, ranch, or even a spicy mayo.
For a complete game day meal, pair your wings with potato wedges, onion rings, or baked beans.
Don’t forget the celery sticks and carrot sticks for dipping!
