Hi guys,
How are things? Even though the World Cup is over now I would like to share a dish for the game nights. Can you guess the name of the dish. Silly me, I have already dropped the name in the title. Yes, I am talking about the wings. On any pizza nights, the buffalo wings are must in our family. Before we used to get these from the pizza stores as a side dish. Then I started making these and needless to say, the homemade ones are healthy and even taste better. Originally the chicken wings are deep fried and tossed in the sauce and served with celery sticks and blue cheese dipping sauce. The history of Buffalo Wings has an interesting story. Don't get confused with the name "Buffalo Wings" as it is never made with buffalo. Actually, Buffalo Wings were invented in a bar in the Buffalo city of New York, where the co-owner fried some leftover wings and tossed them in a hot sauce. She served them as a late night snacks to her kid and friends. Then it was put in the bar menu and it became an instant hit. Today I will share wings tossed in two different sauces - the all time favorite Buffalo sauce and my own creation mango chili lime sauce. I will also share a fast easy but very healthy dipping sauce with only two ingredients.
Recipe 16 servings
1/2 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp crushed black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt according to taste
some aluminum foil or parchment paper
Methods
1. Preheat the oven to 400 F
2. In a mixing bowl add the clean chicken wings. Dab some paper towels to remove excess water. (Note: There should not be any excess water on the surface of the wings.)
3. Add all other ingredients and mix it well.
4. Cover a baking tray with aluminum foil. Now put all the wings on the tray in one layer.
5. Bake the wings for 16 minutes and flip those. Again bake those for 16 mins.
6. Once baked, take out the hot wings from the baking tray carefullykeep aside.
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup hot sauce
3/4 tsp garlic powder
sugar according to taste
Methods
1. In a small saucepan add the butter and heat it. Once the butter starts melting add the hot sauce and all over ingredients except sugar. Mix it well.
2. Add the sugar and taste it as the sugar will balance the sourness of the hot sauce.
3.Remove the heat and keep aside to cool off

For serving wings it is also important to have celery sticks. So cut some celery sticks (finger size).
Serve the hot wings, celery sticks with the dipping sauce. This is a group food and you can easily make it in a gather or for just two of you (if you are couple). This is a nice appetizer what can make any game night hit and will definitely give you a winner position among your friends.
Thanks,
