Super Bowl Wings

These have been said to be the best wings ever!!! Super Bowl fans enjoyed these last weekend and they were loved by all. I know it's a bit late (champs have already been crowned), but there's never a bad time to make wings. They're delish all year round whether football is involved or not!

And now I will pass on my secret recipe...

The grocery list:

• Wings (drummettes attached)
• Flour (all purpose)
• Butter (unsalted)
• Texas Pete
• Salt and pepper
• Granulated garlic
• Italian season
• Garlic chili (for an extra kick)

You have no idea how happy you are about to make the wing-lovers in your family!!!

A raw wing with the wing and drummette attached.

Separate the drummette from the wing and snip the extra tip off. In a large bowl toss wing with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and granulated garlic. Heat a saute pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable oil). Sear all wings and place in a bowl of seasoned flour, just salt and pepper this time. 

In the meantime, heat enough oil in a deep-enough pot to submerge wings completely.

Shake off excess flour from wing and place in hot oil. 

If you have a thermometer, 350 is a good temperature to fry wings. If not, Medium heat is where you want to be. Sprinkle a tiny bit of flour over oil; if it sizzles, you are ready.

Fry wings for 8 min, they will float when they are done, but to be extra sure pick the biggest wing and cut it open.

Remove cooked wings from fryer and place on a paper towel and soak up extra oil.

While the wings are cooking is the perfect time to make the sauce:
Heat half a cup of Texas Pete and Garlic chili sauce until it begins to bubble. Remove from heat and add half a stick of butter (cutting the butter into smaller pieces helps it melt faster) and wisk together.

Pour sauce into a bowl and toss wings to coat evenly.

Ranch and/or blue cheese and you are ready to dig in!!!
