Sweet and spicy hot wings

Have you ever been stunned shocked and amazed all at one time? Here’s what it feels like:

You’re confused so your thoughts are going like 40 miles a minutes. You’re breathing funny, and speechless, all at once.

I’ve felt this way many times, like when I learned that if you exercise everyday for 30 days you can get your heart rate down to 40, and thats healthy! Or when the Jonas Brother’s show first aired, or when I found out that some of the most delicious food’s are actually quite simple to make. Yea I think that one takes the cake…

Let’s take hot wings for example: when I found out that the recipe only calls for a few common household ingredients, I was floored. I was stunned at how few ingredients it calls for, shocked at how simple and quick it is to make, and amazed at how I can take a few simple ingredients, and turn them into something extraordinary. To me that’s the coolest thing about cooking.

Ingredients

24 wing halves (12 wingettes, 12 drummetes)

1/4 cup of good hot sauce ( preferably one with a low sodium content)

1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar

2 tablespoons of water

1/4 teaspoon of seasoned salt

1/4 teaspoon of seasoned pepper

1/4 teaspoon of salt chili powder

vegetable oil for frying

Step 1: Rinse chicken wings under cold water a few times and pat dry with paper towels. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of the vegetable oil to drizzle over chicken, then season with seasoned salt, seasoned pepper, and chili powder. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 2: In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat oil to 350 F, and fry wings until golden brown and crispy. When they are done set them on a plate covered with about 2 paper towels, to drain off access grease.

Step 3 : In the meantime, in a medium sauce pan, whisk together hot sauce, butter, water, and brown sugar, until sugar melts, and mixture turns bubbly. Toss hot wings in sauce, and serve with celery, and carrot sticks. Most Importantly enjoy!
