Recipe - Hot Wings

Hot Wings

I had a request for my hot wings recipe so here it is!  For the wimps out there, you can toss the cooked wings in barbecue sauce.  For the rest of you, the sauce below is not super hot but your lips might be on fire for a little while depending on how many you eat.  I like to serve them with rice to cut the heat and fresh veggies or a salad of some sort.  Don't forget the blue cheese dressing!

2 packages wingettes (I think there are about 16 pieces in each package - they have them in the meat department at Hy-Vee)
1 bottle Franks Red Hot Sauce (Louisiana is an ok substitute)
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp white vinegar

In a small saucepan, add the hot sauce, butter and vinegar.  Cook over medium heat until butter melts and it is warmed thru.

Turn the broiler to high.  Place the wings evenly spaced in a single layer on a broiler pan.  Broil the wings with the pan placed on the middle oven rack for about 8 minutes.  Once they are crispy on one side, flip them over and broil an additional 8 minutes.  If you are unsure if they are done, rip one open and check it out.  If juices are clear and meat is white, it's done.  If not, let them cook a bit longer.  You can try to use a meat thermometer but I'm not sure where you would stick it in those skinny wings.  It takes a bit of experience I guess - better to be safe than sorry though.  Toss the hot wings in the sauce.
