directions

  • Thaw and deep fry chicken wings in oil.
  • I usually cook 10-12 at a time in large skillet.
  • Place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • Set cooked wings aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Melt butter.
  • Add lemon juice, Italian seasoning and hot sauce.
  • Cool to room temperature.
  • Place cooled wings in gallon ziplock bags and add sauce.
  • Seal and marinate for 1/2 hour.
  • Place wings on baking sheets and cook at 325°F for 15-20 minutes.
  • You may reuse the leftover sauce for dipping if you reheat it to the boiling point.
  • Good served w/ ranch dressing and veggie sticks. (Also see stuffed mushroom recipe).
  • You can deep fry, add sauce and freeze for up to three weeks.
  • Thaw then bake.
  • This is a crowd pleaser and goes fast.

  1. I served these at my husbands super-bowl party and they were a hit. I made 5lbs of chicken wings and they were the first thing to disapear. They were wonderful. I sent the recipe home with all of the guys.
     
  2. Made these for the superbowl,and they were gone before I knew it! Excellent!
     
  3. Very easy recipe, and it tastes awesome. My wife was making them for fathers day, when she got called into work for an emergency and left me with the chore of completing them. Not being patient, I tried the cooked wings in the sauce prior to baking them and was in heaven!! Waiting right now to taste them from the oven.... Great recipe!!!!!
     
  4. Love these; love the sauce! Yummy and just crunchy enough. Sometimes, when I want them quickly, I will buy a bottle of Buffalo Wild Wings' sauce and use that instead of the marinade - I'm cheating, I know, but they are yummy no matter what!!
     
  5. Instead of frying these, I marinated them over night and then added a bit of water to the bag, shook em up and put 'em on the grill for about 20-25 mintues. They were GREAT! Disappered super fast! Thanks!

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
