Perfect for game day. Kept light by baking, but the caloric content could probably be reduced if I removed the skin. A pound of wings clocks in at 570 calories or so. Serve with some yogurt ranch. The sauces can be varied. I just used 1/2 cup of Louisiana Hot Sauce and 2-3 T of butter. Melt and stir.
The only change I made to the recipe was pouring the hot sauce over the wings about midway through the second broil (after turning the wings over once). That way, the sauce stuck to the wings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 cup louisiana hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon margarine
Directions
- Fill a large pot half way with water and then add the first 4 ingredients.
- Bring water mixture and wings to a boil and then boil for 15 minutes.
- Transfer wings to an oven safe container coated with cooking spray. Bake wings on "Broil" (high) for 15 minutes on each side.(For crispier wings, cook longer on each side, maybe 20 minutes per side).
- While waiting for wings, combine the Hot Sauce and Margarine in a microwave safe container and cook in microwave for 2 minutes or until melted. (You can cook the sauce longer for a thicker sauce).
- When wings are done, shake 'em up with the sauce and enjoy!
