Ingredients

4 or 5 lb. bag of wings, defrosted 1 qt buttermilk
Oil for deep frying Flour for dredging
1 12oz. bottle of your favorite hot sauce 1 stick unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, chopped ½ tsp dry mustard
dash of Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  1. Defrost wings & soak them in buttermilk overnight.
  2. Dredge wings in the flour then deep fry them in the oil. Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying, at least 325°F.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter & add the garlic, dry mustard, & Worcestershire. Heat until the garlic starts to cook slightly, then add the hot sauce & bring to a boil.
  4. Once the sauce boils for a minute or so you can turn it off; it’s done.
  5. When all the wings are done, toss them in the sauce & serve with Ranch or Bleu Cheese dressing & some celery & enjoy.

Chef’s Note: Most people use Franks, I do not. The salt content is too high, there are other brands out there that are less salty, like Texas Pete’s, & are just as good. Look at the label: if the sodium RDA is less than 10% (which is what Frank’s is) then try it. If you do use Franks, be sure to use unsalted butter to cut the saltiness down.

2-3 tbsp milk 1-2 tbsp Rumpleminz

Frosting Ingredients

1 c. whipping cream 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1-2 tbsp Rumpleminz

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix cake mix, cocoa powder, buttermilk, oil, & eggs in large mixing bowl until all ingredients are combined. 
  2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl & beat 2 minutes more on medium-high. Batter will be very thick.
  3. Bake cake in 2 8″ or 9″ round pans until they spring back when lightly touched with your finger & start to pull away from the side, about 28-30 minutes. Cool.

Filling Directions

  1. Cream the butter, mix the powdered sugar & crushed mints together, add to butter. 
  2. Add milk & Rumpleminz. Beat until fluffy. If frosting is too thick you can add more milk or Rumple.
  3. When cake is done, put filling between the two layers.

Frosting Directions

  1. Place chips in a mixing bowl. Heat the whipping cream in a sauce pan to boil. 
  2. Remove from heat & pour over chips. Whisk until all the chips melt. 
  3. Allow this to cool for several minutes. Add Rumpleminz.
  4. Let cool until spread able & ice over cake. Alternatively, you can pour it over the cake while still warm as a glaze. Be careful, can be messy.
