Blazin' Buttermilk Wings (UPDATED)

I think my hot wings obsession started in college. Wednesday Wing Nite was a HUGE event, where you could get wings for $0.25 each! Which makes a "starving college student" sooooo happy! Well, it has been a year now since I graduated college... and my taste buds are just BEGGING for some of those crispy spicy hot wings! I have never really made wings before, but I am going to try. And I found this awesome easy and tasty recipe from Sandra Lee Semi-homemade cooking! This is what I will be making this weekend! Question for you to answer! Which do you prefer: Wings or Drummettes? I am a drummettes girl myself :) Tommy likes the wings. Together we are the perfect hot wings match! haha

Total Time:
4 hr 28 min
Prep
10 min
Inactive
4 hrs (the wings have to soak for 4 hours)
Cook
18 min


Ingredients
1 quart buttermilk (they sell LowFat and NonFat buttermilk too!)
2 (1.6-ounce) packs buffalo wing seasoning
1/4 C hot sauce
4 lbs chicken wings (thawed)
Blue cheese dressing (or ranch), for dipping
(Real blue cheese crumbs to top off the Blue cheese dressing, if you want to get fancy!)
Carrots and celery, cut into 1/4-inch slices

Directions

In a large bowl, stir together buttermilk, wing seasoning, and hot sauce. Add drummettes and be sure all are coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 to 4 hours, preferably overnight.


(next time I make these, I am going to try putting them in a zip-lock baggie and using less buttermilk, because I always feel funny throwing away so much liquid!)


INDOOR: Preheat broiler. Remove wings from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Place wings on foil lined baking sheet or broiling pan. Broil 15 to 20 minutes turning occasionally or until cooked.



OUTDOOR: Set up grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking. Remove wings from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Grill 12 to 18 minutes, turning occasionally, ending with skin-side down.

Serve with blue cheese/ranch dressing, celery sticks, and carrot sticks.


YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Servings: about 3-4.
