Hot Wings



As I mentioned on my Salsa! post, I would like to put a couple of my favorite recipes on my blog. I love to cook, and I really love spicy food. No wonder I love hot wings, right?!?

Hot Wings

Ingredients:
1 cup of Franks Red Hot Cayenne Pepper Sauce
2 tbsp. of Butter
2 packages of chicken drummetes
Salt
Pepper

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

2. Put wings on a baking sheet. (Tip: Wrap the top of baking sheet with tin foil. This will stop the grease from the chicken from making a mess on the sheet.)Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Put the wings in the oven when the oven is properly heated.

3. Cook wings for 30-45 minutes. Make sure that you insert a thermometer into the chicken to ensure the meat is cooked thoroughly.

4. About 5 minutes before the chicken comes out of the oven, microwave 2 tbsp. of butter until it is completely melted. (About 30-60 seconds)

5. Pour one cup of Franks into a large bowl. Pour in butter, and mix until the butter is well Incorporated into mixture.

6. Remove wings from oven when the meat is cooked through. Dunk the wings into the bowl of wing sauce and put onto a serving dish.

7. Enjoy!

I especially love eating these wings while watching a movie! If you or a family member is not crazy about spicy food (my sister!) then simply coat the wings with BBQ sauce, or any other sauce that they enjoy!
Serve with celery and/or ranch for all the wimps you know!

Hook, Line, and Sinker.

I was checking my email on yahoo.com and realized how often I fall for their little traps. For example, I was looking at the home page, and I find the following:

I saw the headline in the middle of the page: "Most album downloads ever". If you are like me, then you probably want to know. And what is funny is that every time that I get on yahoo.com to check my mail, I can't help but click on the headlines. Also, if you look closely, you see that they don't tell you what band has the most downloads in the little captions, so you HAVE to click it. Curiosity kills the cat!
