Wing Sauces

Updating blog with a picture. 

It is Super Bowl time and at the Withrow house that means wings….at LOTS of them!  Below are two of the best wing sauces I a have found.  My guys like the TGI Friday Sauce and my home brewed Sweet Baby Ray’s Smokey Chipotle BBQ Sauce (yes they have since came out with their own but I have yet to taste it.).  Grab your fire extinguisher and get to cookin’!

By the way I bake my wings instead of deep frying and buy the skinless ones when I can find them.  They still taste great and no one misses the extra grease and calories.  Also I have a really good low-fat blue cheese dip that I will post as well.

TGI Fridays Buffalo Wing Sauce

All around great buffalo wing sauce

 

INGREDIENTS:

·        1   cup ketchup

·        ½  cup + 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce

·        ¼  cup Worcestershire sauce (I used Lea & Perines which is, to the best of my knowledge gluten-free)

·        2   tablespoons garlic powder

·        1   tablespoon salt (if desired)

·        3  tablespoons canola oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

·         Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.  

·         Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. If you want extra for dipping remove it now.

·         Line a shallow baking pan with heavy duty aluminum foil, add chicken, place in pre-heated oven and bake for 20- 25 minutes or until done.

·         Remove from oven, turn oven to broil, remove wings from pan, remove all liquid from pan and replace wings.

·         Toss wings with 1/3 of sauce broil 2-3 minutes, remove add more sauce, broil another 2-3 minutes, repeat with remainder of sauce.

·         If you reserved some sauce for dipping either microwave it, or place it in a small sauce pan and heat until warm.
