Very OT...Need help re wings

I probably would go to the local Hurricane Wings, or whatever barbecue ribs & chicken place is in your neighborhood. I think that's a lot easier than bothering with making them.

I no longer have the recipe but I remember marinating them in a sauce and then putting them under the broiler. I never saw them done in a crockpot and wonder if they would come out too soft that way. I know it was a lot of work splitting each wing, cutting off the tips, etc., etc.

Buy a bag or three of frozen ones! C

I have a recipe (not complicated) for teriyaki wings but if I had to provide hot wings, I would buy them as that sort of hot - to me - tastes of nothing much. I love Indian food which can be hot but with a myriad of flavours within the hot, but Mexican type hot, forget it !

My favorite recipes are from a book called "Uncle Bubba's Chicken Wing Fling"; here's one quoted below that was handy at

(possibly the bake-in-casserole stage could be done in a crockpot but I wouldn't recommend it; wings aren't intended to overcook). I'd also browse recipe sites like The Food Network, Epicurious.com, Good Housekeeping and ichef. Put some links below recipe."20 Chicken Wings, separated3 tbsp Flour

2 tsp Paprika 1 tsp ground white pepper 1 tsp salt 1 tsp dried minced garlic 1 dash red pepper 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil 1 cup Amaretto liqueur 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard 1 can 6 1/4 oz Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and follow the Getting Started chapter to prepare the wings. Mix the flour and dry spices together, then use it to coat the wings. Heat the oil in a skillet, and sauté the wings until they just start to turn brown - do not overcook! Depending on the size of your skillet, this may have to be done in multiple passes. If this is the case, an extra splash of oil may be required. Take the wings out and put them in a casserole dish.

Blend the frozen concentrated orange juice with one-half can of water. Pour it into the skillet, return it to the burner, then add the mustard and Amaretto. Allow the mixture to come to a boil - be sure to stir it continuously. It will eventually thicken. When it does, pour the sauce over the chicken wings. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. By the way, any remaining Amaretto that you didn't use for cooking tastes best just like Uncle Bubba serves it - right out of mason jars".

Thanks to you all for the ideas. I found frozen seasoned ones in Publix, that just need baking in the oven. I also notice that Hungry Howies ( a pizza chain, and there is one in our village) also has wings on the menu. It will be one of these two, I think.

Debbie, I have saved your recipe for a day when I feel like doing it from scratch!
