BEER SOAKED WINGS

Category: Wings

2 (12 oz) cans beer
1 pkg (5 lb) frozen chicken wings, thawed
2 tsp ground red pepper
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup cayenne pepper sauce
(See Preparation Tip)
1/4 cup butter, melted

Set aside 1/3 cup beer. Pour remaining beer into a large shallow dish; add the chicken wings, cover, and marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator; drain the wings.

Preheat oven to 425. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with foil; coat foil with nonstick cooking spray. Season wings with red pepper and salt; place on baking sheets. Bake for 30 minutes. Turn wings over; cook for 25 to 30 more minutes, or until crispy and no pink remains.

In a large bowl, combine pepper sauce, butter, and reserved 1/3 cup beer; mix well. Add chicken wings and toss until evenly coated. Serve immediately. Serves: 4-6.

PREPARATION TIP: Be sure to use cayenne pepper sauce instead of regular hot pepper sauce because that would make these REALLY spicy!
