 If you are looking for a way to spice up basic meat dishes like grilled steak, baked chicken, or sautéed shrimp, marinate them in an oil-based salad dressing. Any variety of Italian or Vinagrette will do. The oil helps to keep the meat moist & the flavorings will add that little zip you are looking for to fancy it up. It’s like the instant marinade in a bottle. With so many varieties these days you can try different ones to find your own favorite recipe.

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.
