Spicy Buffalo Wings

These spicy wings are out of this world. Although they aren't the most healthy of foods, they are perfect for special occasions, in our case a party. These wings were a hit with our friends and I'm sure that you will enjoy them too. The sauce that accompanies the wings is also spicy and delicious.

2 1/2 pounds chicken wings (wings should be separated at the joint with tips removed)
1 12 oz can beer
3 tablespoons hot sauce
TabascoSauce

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Vegetable oil

1/2 cup butter (1 Stick)
5 Tablespoons hotsauce
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
Tabasco Sauce

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the beer and hot sauce. You can add as much or as little Tabasco as you want depending on how spicy you like your wings (I used about 5 drops). Add the wings to the bowl and turn to coat. Cover the bowl and let sit in the fridge for an hour.

2. Mix flour, salt, pepper, cayenne and paprika in a pan or large bowl. In a large skillet, add enough oil to fill up to an inch. Heat the oil on medium heat to 375 degrees (If you don't have a thermometer you can just eyeball it)

3. Dredge wings in seasoned flour and cook in oil for 7-10 minutes, cooking about 5 wings at a time and turning with tongs occasionally. Place cooked wings on a rack placed over paper towels.

4. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add hot sauce, sugar and tabasco to taste. Stir until combined.

5. Smother sauce over wings on a large plate. Serve with celery and blue cheese dressing.

Makes: About 25 wings
