Today, we're diving into a family favorite that's an absolute must-try – hot wings that will leave you craving more.
Join me as I take you through the steps of creating this irresistible dish that has become a cherished tradition in our household.
Getting Started
Recipe:
- 6-10 whole chicken wings
- 1/2 cup smart balance butter
- 1/2 cup red hot sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground basil
So, today's mission? Crafting the perfect hot wings! First things first, let's get those green onions sliced up for a burst of freshness in every bite. Now, onto the star of the show – the chicken wings. We're sectioning them into wingettes and drumettes, setting the stage for that crispy, golden-brown goodness.
Into the Fryer
With our chicken prepped and ready, it's time to toss them into the fryer. Picture this – eagerly awaiting those magical moments when they turn into golden bites of perfection.
Gathering the Goodies
While the chicken works its magic, let's gather the flavor-packed heroes: smart balance butter, paprika, red wine vinegar, salt, garlic powder, red hot sauce, and ground basil leaves. Don't forget those green onions we sliced up earlier – they're about to shine!
Crafting My Hot Wing Sauce
In my culinary dance, I combine melted smart balance butter with red hot sauce to lay the foundation for our tantalizing hot wing sauce. Adding paprika, red wine vinegar, salt, and ground basil leaves, I stir and mix until every ingredient is dancing in harmony.
Bringing It All Together
Now that our crispy chicken is ready for action, it's time to take a flavorful dip in that luscious hot wing sauce. A generous sprinkle of garlic powder while the wings are still hot adds an extra layer of aromatic goodness. Every piece of chicken gets a thorough coating in the flavorful sauce, and I let it sit for five minutes – the perfect time for those flavors to mingle and create magic.
Plating and Serving
And now, the grand finale! I plate my hot wings with finesse, topping them off with the vibrant green onions. The result? An irresistible dish that promises to dazzle your taste buds.
