Cause anything worth one stick of butter is certainly worth two sticks of butter.

If you are buying those bags of chicken wings you cook in the oven all pre-sauced and stuff, you're doing it wrong! (Hell, if you're buyin' 'em from BWW, WS or PH, you're doin' in wrong!)

Bon Appetit!

Basically, steam wings for 10 minutes. This gets all the excess fat out. Then throw them in the oven on baking sheets w/ drying racks for 20 minutes each side @ 450F. (Basically, what you are doing here is reducing the fat by steaming to just the right amount to "fry" the wing in its own fat)

The wings come out super crispy on the skin. Sauce (at least what I use for 4.5lbs of wings) is 2 stick of butter, a couple of pinches of kosher salt. 3 big cloves of fresh garlic minced, a small pinch/smidgen of cayenne, and some lousiana hot sauce. As soon as the wings come out of the oven,... toss with the sauce in a large bowl.

mmm looks good. May I add the suggestion of a quarter cup of honey to your sauce? Nice salt cellar. Le Creuset.. looks like we got a chef here.

I'll have to try the honey. Was going to try some hawaiian bbq sauce last night, but didnt have all the ingrediants to make it (mainly, missing pineapple juice).

As far as the Le Creuset, I would imagine maybe 5 people on this board know that that is without needing to look it up.

Try any butcher. In Mustang, we have Cossey's Custom Meats. Usually about $3 or less a pound (think these were just about $2.35/lb.)
