BEER SOAKED BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• Set aside 1/3 cup beer.
• Pour the remaining beer into a large shallow dish; add the chicken wings, cover, and marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator; drain the wings.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Line two large rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil; coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• Season the wings with ground red pepper and salt and place on the baking sheets.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Turn the wings over and cook for 25 to 30 more minutes, or until crispy and no pink remains.
• In a large bowl, combine the cayenne pepper sauce, butter, and the reserved 1/3 cup beer; mix well.
• Add the chicken wings and toss until evenly coated.
• Serve immediately.

BAKED BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, cider vinegar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, hot sauce, honey and a couple of cracks of black pepper. Add the chicken wings and toss around to make sure they're fully covered in the marinade. If you have time, leave the wings to marinate for a couple of hrs in the fridge or ideally overnight.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Drain and reserve the marinade, then spread the wings out on a very large baking tray. Bake for 30 mins, then pour off the excess oil, add the reserved marinade and toss well. Increase oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Return to the oven and cook for a further 30 mins, tossing a few times to coat in the glaze as they cook. They should be sticky and glazed with most of the marinade evaporated. Serve on a large platter alongside other party snacks.

EASY BAKED BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• Cut off wing tips; discard. Separate wings at joint.
• Place wings in a single layer on a wire rack inside a shallow pan (to catch grease). (You can use a broiler pan, but the super thin bars of the wire rack keep the meat from sticking).
• Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Use the stove fan if you have one; the grease from the meat makes a lot of smoke.
• Turn. Broil another 10 to 15 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.
• Meanwhile, microwave butter in large, microwave-safe bowl.
• Add hot sauce.
• Add wings to bowl and cover. Shake until wings are well coated.
• Serve hot with celery ribs, carrot sticks, and blue cheese dressing, if desired.
