TABASCO CHICKEN WINGS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine butter, tabasco, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and garlic powder.
• Stir together over low heat until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small / medium bowl, combine flour, paprika, cayenne powder, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and salt.
• Place chicken in dry mixture and coat evenly. Cover bowl and refrigerate for one hour. (Sometimes I cheat and send it straight to the fryer instead of letting it sit for an hour. It still comes out well.)
• Heat enough oil to cover chicken pieces.
• When oil is heated, fry coated chicken pieces for 15 - 20 minutes (until well-cooked).
• Remove from fryer, combine with sauce mixture, and serve. *Ranch dressing or any dip you prefer should work well with it.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Halve the wings at the joint if desired. Season with salt and oil, then coat evenly with flour. Shake off the excess flour.
• Line the baking pan with foil and brush with oil. Arrange the wings on the baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes, turn over, and bake for 20 more minutes until the wings are browned on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
• Meanwhile, prepare the hot sauce and the blue cheese dressing. To prepare the hot sauce, mix white vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, Louisiana hot sauce, and butter or margarine in a pan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, and then remove from heat.
• To make the blue cheese dressing, place sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Then, add crumbled blue cheese. If possible, refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
• Mix cooked wings with hot sauce in a large bowl.
• Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.
