Yummy Goodness!

These Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings have become a regular meal in our house.  I recently made them this past weekend, and they were still sooooooo good.  I started making them because I wanted a chicken recipe where I could bake the chicken instead of frying it.  I mean, frying food isn't the healthiest ya know.  The thing I like about them the best is that they taste as if they are fried, but their not.  Any who, I was telling a friend of mine at work about them, and she wanted the recipe.  I thought....mmmmmmm, others may be able to endulge in these yummy wings too if I just post the recipe on my blog.  So, here ya go! 

Ingredients:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper ( I use more...ha!)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (I use more of this as well...he he he)
Paprika, black pepper, and onion powder (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt
20 chicken wings (I like to use wingettes, but whole wings can be used as well)
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup hot pepper sauce (I use Louisiana Hot Sauce)

Directions

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and lightly grease with cooking spray. Place the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt into a resealable plastic bag, and shake to mix. Add the chicken wings, seal, and toss until well coated with the flour mixture. Place the wings onto the prepared baking sheet, and place into the refrigerator. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. NOTE:  The wings do better if you can refrigerate them longer than an hour.  You can even refrigerate them overnight if you like.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Whisk together the melted butter and hot sauce in a small bowl. Dip the wings into the butter mixture, and place back on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and crispy on the outside, about 45 minutes. Turn the wings over halfway during cooking so they cook evenly.

Viola!  Enjoy the Yummy Goodness!
