Hooters... Get your mind out of the gutter!

Ingredients for 5 servings

• Vegetable oil for frying
• 0.25 cup butter (not margarine)
• 0.25 cup Frank's Red Hot Cayenne Sauce
• Dash pepper
• Dash garlic powder
• 0.25 cup flour
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
• 10 chicken wings

Steps

1. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375F. Combine the butter, hot sauce, pepper and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well-blended. Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl or bag. Dry wings well and put into large bowl and sprinkle with flour mixture over them, coating each wing evenly. Put the wings into the refrigerator for 60-90 minutes. (This will help the breading to stick to the wings when fried). Put all the wings into the hot oil and fry them for 10-15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown. Remove the wings from the oil and drain on paper towel. Quickly put the wings into a large bowl. Add the hot sauce and stir, coating wings. Serve with ranch or bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.
