Sweet & Saucy Buffalo Wings

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 
-Romans 12:2 (KJV)

Buffalo wings. They're messy, saucy, spicy...and just plain yummy. I'm sure you already knew that. But did you also know  that they're pretty easy to make at home? Well, I've got a recipe for you. 

This is another recipe that you can make to your personal taste. I originally just tried it using Franks RedHot Wings Buffalo sauce, but when it's added to the other ingredients, it is not at all hot or spicy. If you want extra mild wings for you or the kids - that is the way to go. If you need a little kick, you can add some Tabasco sauce to the buffalo sauce (which is what I did the second time I made these) or instead try the Franks RedHot Wings HOT Buffalo sauce. I haven't tried the HOT Buffalo sauce, but I bet it's good. I'll be trying it the next time I make these.

Sweet & Saucy Buffalo Wings

adapted from here.

1/3 c. Franks RedHot Wings Buffalo sauce (or Franks RedHot Wings HOT Buffalo Sauce)

1/3 c. ketchup

2 tbsp. honey

1/2 c. butter

25 chicken wings or drumettes (thawed if frozen)

1/2 c. all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Measure 1/2 c. all-purpose flour into a large zip-top bag. Dry each chicken wing well with paper towels and place into zip-top bag with the flour. When all the wings are in the bag, zip the bag closed and shake to dredge the wings with the flour.

Spray a large baking sheet with canola oil or PAM. Place chicken wings on the pan, mist wings lightly with canola oil and bake for 45 minutes. 

While wings are baking, combine the butter, hot sauce, ketchup, and honey in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes. 

Dip each wing into the sauce and place back onto the baking pan. Spoon any extra sauce over the wings. Return wings to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes more to set the sauce. 

Some great side dishes to serve with hot wings are potato salad, coleslaw, garden salad, corn on the cob, fresh fruit, fries, or garlic bread.
