Name: Uptown Hot Wings
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 2 Servings

Ok, before I get into making some more poncy food I thought to myself as I saw my neighbors in the hall with a bucket of KFC hot wings. I thought WHY Are people eating that crap!???. Do you have any idea the chemicals and the amount of extra starch and god knows what else goes into those steroid ridden chickens? Well I thought to myself…I’ll make some of my killer chicken wings, show you that its very easy to do and won’t cost you $7.99usd for 10 wings. You can make them for a 1/3 the price, 50 times more delicious and more importantly not a health hazard. Anyone can make these and trust me they are addicting and perfect for snacks during upcoming Yankee games. I use only organic cage free chickens, no hormones, no steroids. They are going to cost you a little more but they will have better fat and they will taste of chicken more than just some protein you need to flavor. Ok let’s do this should take you about 15 min. Less time than to order them in or go out to get them and you will have them fresh not sitting steaming in a box to get soggy.

Servings

2 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds Chicken drumettes
Tablespoon unsalted butter and one cup favorite hot sauce

Blue Cheese Dressing:

¼ cup light Sour Cream
1/4 cup favorite blue cheese
¼ cup mayo
Juice of half a lemon
One garlic clove
Teaspoon of sugar
Teaspoon rice wine vinegar. Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth
*-Finley chopped chives
*-Canola or vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Start with your favorite hot sauce or wing sauce I use Franks I like it but you can use anyone you prefer. Try and get one that is only peppers, vinegar and spices. Sometimes the sauce can be as bad as the takeout kind so that’s why I like Frank’s besides the flavor. Oh and don’t try and make this yourself unless you have a few days to prepare just buy your favorite sauce.

First make the cheese sauce and set aside in the fridge until ready. Now preheat a small fryer like the one I use to 375 degrees with vegetable oil. If you are using a regular pot get a thermometer that will read 375degrees as the temperature is critical in the cooking. Now cook the drumettes in batches making sure not to crowd them in the pot or the fryer. Fry them between 11 min and 15 min depending on the size of your wings. Mine were small so I did 11 min. Once a batch is done drain it on paper towel and put in on a rack in the oven at 220degrees. While your frying the wings get a sauce pot out and pour your bottle of hot sauce in there and add a tablespoon of unsalted butter. Heat until butter has melted and incorporated into the hot sauce. When all the wings are done take a large bowl put the wings in and pour the sauce over them and toss until they are all evenly coated.

Now it’s time to plate. I like to put everything on the wing so add the cheese sauce so it’s one nice bit no one is double dipping you just pick up the wing and its one perfect bit. Add the chives and EAT!

Wing out kids I know I did!
