Savory Hot Wings!




Here is the second of great football food for your Bowl Games. One of my favorite snack foods to watch a football game has to be hands down…Hot Wings! There are restaurants that have built there entire theme around them. They are in your freezer section of every grocer too so I bet you probably like them also. Here is a very simple recipe that anyone can make great tasting wings at home.

1 – 3lb bag of frozen chicken wing sections – drummies and wingies but no tips(thawed)
1 – Large bottle of cayenne pepper sauce (I prefer Texas Pete)
1 – stick of unsalted butter
1 – bunch of celery (stalks cleaned and cut into 4 in strips)
1 – bottle of Marzzetti’s Blue Cheese Dressing ( Or your favorite dipping dressing sauce)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Line a large baking tray with Quick release foil and spread wing sections out leaving about an inch between each piece. Bake for 45 minutes or until done and starting to crisp. In a medium sauce pan heat the pepper sauce until warm. Depending on how hot you like them add butter to the sauce, melt and heat through. Use no butter for hot, ½ stick for medium and the whole stick for mild wings.

Remove tray from oven and brush all sides of the wings with the sauce and place back in oven. Bake for another 10 minutes, repeat process one more time. Place wings on the top rack and turn oven to Broil for 6 to 8 minutes to crisp up nice.

Remove tray from oven and place in a large mixing bowl. Pour remaining sauce over wings and toss. Serve with Celery stalks and dressing. Your guests will love them! Enjoy
