Buffalo Wings

Haven't posted in a while! So here's a recipe that has some spice :) It is football season and buffalo wings are a huge hit for game time snacks. Hope you enjoy my personally written recipe! Please comment and let me know what you think or would like to see next:)

Ingredients:

~ 2-4 lbs chicken wings
- Bottle of your favorite buffalo sauce (I used Billiard's)
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup white corn meal
- Vegetable/Canola oil (for deep frying)
- salt
- lemon pepper
- paprika
- granulated garlic
(season by eye)

Directions:

1. Take either a large pot, a large deep pan, or a deep fryer if you have one and begin to heat the oil on low for now. Make sure it's deep enough to deep fry and completely submerge each wing. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.

2. Separate the wings, they'll come whole, you'll want to take the end off and trash the smallest end part. Easiest way to do this is to just rip them with your hand at the joint, then use a knife if the skin or meat won't tear.

3. In a large bowl crack the 4 eggs and add a bit of salt, lemon pepper and paprika (by eye, to give color) Whip the eggs and submerge your wings in your egg wash.

4. In another bowl combine flour and corn meal (stir a bit to integrate the two) and add a bit of paprika and garlic into the mix. (just a sprinkle).

5. After the wings have been covered in the egg wash next step is to coat them in your breading, fully cover each wing and set it aside.

6. To test oil just drop a bit of leftover breading mix and see if it reacts. Once the oil is ready carefully drop wings into the oil (use tongs so the oil doesn't splatter). Wings should take about 10 minutes to cook, be very attentive and check often.

7. When the breading is golden brown carefully remove each wing with tongs onto a plate lined with paper towels to drip off grease.

8. Take a deep bowl and heat a bit of your buffalo sauce in the microwave for about 30 seconds until warm, toss a few wings at a time in your sauce to completely cover the wings and place in an oven safe baking pan.

9. Once all your wings have sauce on them, put them in the oven for about 5-10 minutes to heat up a bit and to really sink the sauce's flavor into the breading. Serve with ranch/blue cheese and any other sides you'd like!
