Chicken Wings

When I was at Costco yesterday, along with the salt and pepper grinders--I found chicken wings---my family just loves chicken wings--I do to, but I can't have them right now, the hot sauce is not good while nursing. I don't deprive my family though:) Chicken wings are very hard to find in the grocery store, it seems that all the restaurants buy them out which can be a bit frustrating--but we got the chicken wings before the restaurants did LOL.

Frank's Hot Sauce is a very important ingredient----other hot sauces do not compare--

This is what I do, I foil line a huge pan and rub oil all over the foil, so nothing sticks and very easy cleanup. Can you see the big package of chicken.

This is what the wing looks like--I cut the little nub(the part by my finger) off the wing and then cut the wing in half between the joints

They look like this cut up--I don't use the little nub from the wing Just the two bigger parts.
After all the chicken is cut up I rub some oil on them and cook them in the oven at 375 for about an hour, I check on them every now and then and move them around. While they are cooking I cut up some celery.After about an hour of cooking they are done. I have cooked them longer but then they aren't tender and are kind of tough to eat, so I like them moist and juicy.
I melt some butter and then add the hot sauce and mix it all up in a big bowl

Dipping a few wings at a time
Then place them in a pretty dish--I sometimes line the dish with some romaine or red leaf--but this time I just stayed simple.
Here they are all coated with the hot sauce--if there is any hot sauce left in the other dish, I drizzle it over the chicken
I serve the chicken wings with the celery and ranch dressing---I often make my own ranch dressing too. A lot of people like Blue Cheese Dressing--which I think is sooo yummy, but my family likes Ranch instead, so Ranch is what I serve:)
