Hot Wings

Congratulations Saints! And thank you for giving me an excuse to eat appetizers for a meal! The Saints just won the superbowl last night in an exciting game. 31-17 against the Colts. I love the superbowl and it's not because I care about football, I love superbowl food. Chips and dips, munchies and buffalo wings. These are probably the best buffalo wings I've ever had. Better then any restaurant's wings I've tried, and the good news is they are baked, not fried but don't worry there is still plenty of grease on these babies. Goes great with blue cheese dressing. This recipes is from allrecips.com (Buffalo Chicken Wings III)

20 chicken wings, split and tips discarded
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup red pepper sauce
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

I also added some ground red pepper for an extra kick.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bake wings in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine melted butter, red pepper sauce, tomato sauce, chili powder and cayenne pepper. Mix together.
When wings are baked, dip in sauce to coat well, then shake off excess and return coated wings to baking sheet. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) and bake for another 15 minutes to set sauce.

We dipped them in the sauce a 2nd time and put them back in the oven for a few minutes until the sauce was thick and baked in.
