Hot Wings

"Hooters"-Style Hot Wings

Coating:

1/2 cup Carbquik bake mix (or soy flour, but this negatively affects the taste)
2 t. Paprika
1 t. Cayenne pepper, ground

Sauce

4 oz. (1 stick) Butter
1/2 Hot sauce (such as Crustal's)
(to taste) Garlic powder
(to taste) Cracked black pepper

Mix all coating ingredients in a zip-top bag; add 2 lbs. chicken wings. Toss to coat completely.

Fry in batches (I use a deep fryer at 360 for 10 minutes, 5-6 wings at a time) until cooked thoroughly.

In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients over medium-low heat until completely melted.

Using two bowls, one slightly smaller than the other, add the wings and sauce to the larger bowl, cover with the smaller bowl, and shake to coat. Serve immediately.

2 servings, appx. 7-8 wings each, for 2 net carbs.

(For a zero carb option, simply fry the wings without the coating -- this will require half as much sauce, as less will absorb into the "breading".)
