Buffalo chicken wings ( oven baked )


Ingredients for baking the wings :
Chicken wings - 1kg ,
Louisiana hot sauce - 2 tbsp ,
Canola or vegetable oil - 2 tbsp ( any oil which does not have a strong flavour ),
All purpose flour - 100 gms ,
Salt and pepper .
Method 
Cut the chicken in two pieces or you can have it ordered cut from the meat shop .( here only two parts are available in the chicken wings and that too without the skin . If the chicken is available with the skin than it is better  and if the third small part is available than discard it and use it for stock ).
Wash and pat dry or leave it in the strainer for some time so that the wings are completely dry .
Sprinkle salt and pepper ,louisiana sauce and canola oil or vegetable oil.
Mix with a spoon .
Take a ziplock bag or any thick plastic bag and put 100 grams of flour in it .
Transfer the wing pieces into the ziplock bag and zip the bag taking out the air in it .
Shake the bag for few minutes so that the wings are evenly coated with the flour.
Pre heat oven to 200 C 
Baking time is 1 hour - 30 minutes each side .
Grease the baking tray with oil and put a foil on it .Grease the foil too .
Put the wings on the tray and spray or brush some oil on it .
Keep some space in between the wings  .
My tray is 9  x13 in size ,so i had to bake in 3 batches .
After 30 minutes turn the sides  with a tong and brush it with oil and let the chicken bake for 30 minutes more .
Remove the tray  from the oven after 30 minutes .
Take out the pieces from the foil and keep it in a bowl .
We can prepare the wings sauce while the chicken wings is in the oven .

Ingredients for Buffalo chicken wings sauce :

Louisiana hot sauce - 1/3 cup ,
Cold salted butter - 1/4 cup ,
White vinegar - 1/4 tbsp ,
Worchestershire sauce - 1/4 tsp ,
Tobasco sauce - 1/4  tsp ,
Cayenne pepper -  1/4 tsp ( i used red chilli flakes ),
Garlic crushed - 4 cloves .

Take a non stick pan and add louisiana sauce ,butter ,vinegar ,worchestershire sauce ,tobasco sauce and pepper or chilli flakes .
Put the pan on low to medium heat .
Bring the butter to dissolve and let it simmer .
As soon as you see the bubbles in the sauce close the gas .
The sauce is ready .

When the chicken is baked spoon few tables of sauce and cover with a plate and shake it .
Taste and see the hotness of the wings and accordingly you can use the sauce.
 This sauce was enough for 1 kg of wings .
You can make this recipe a few hours before and reheat it when you plan to serve .
It will remain crunchy .
Very good for starters and very light too .
Since it is not fried it is good for health .
