Fallen Souffle

If you made a New Year’s resolution to eat better and lose weight well you just need to stop reading now. Ok, just kidding, but this recipe is by no means healthy or “figure friendly” but it sure is good!

Evan and I had friends over last night to watch what ended up being a Gator whooping on the Buckeyes and we had planned on making chicken wings. Well the wings were still in their bag at the end of the night so I decided we would have them for dinner tonight. I was browsing Allrecipes and found quite a few recipes for wings but decided to try something different from the traditional hot wings.

I found a recipe with a really good rating so I decided to use that as my base. I baked these to make myself feel a little better about having wings and fries on a weeknight and I promise you won’t miss the frying. The meat literally falls off the bone. These wings are super sticky but truly finger licking good. They are a sweet wing, but add a little cayenne sauce to balance out the sweetness if you like.

After these babies we decided we would have a wing bar at our Super Bowl party just so we can have more! I paired these with the Garlic Fries from Trader Joe’s, a recommendation from my Mom. Wow these were awesome very garlicky but addicting! It has inspired me to try spicing up our regular fries!

Sticky Chicken Wings

3 pounds of chicken wings
salt and pepper
1 cup flour

3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons water
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Rinse wings and pat dry. Salt and pepper to taste. Dredge wings in flour, shake off excess and place in a greased glass baking dish. (Use glass it is much easier to clean up!) Bake for 20 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, add the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and mix, don’t worry about dissolving the sugar. After the first 20 minute bake, pour sauce over wings and increase temperature to 425 degrees. Cook an additional 25 minutes, turning wings halfway through.

4. After this baking, turn once more and broil at 500 degrees for about 5 minutes until they get a bit crispy.

5. Serve immediately with lots of napkins!
