Baked Buffalo Wings - healthier alternative

[roxanne10]

This tailgate favorite is usually deep fried in batter and loaded with blue cheese dressing. Give this alternative a try for a healthier spin!

Ingredients
1 lb chicken wings (preferably without skin)
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon Celtic Sea Salt
1/2 cup hot sauce
1 tablespoon butter     (For Whole30, butter is not allowed, use ghee or clarified butter)

Directions
1. Fill a large pot half way with water and then add the first 4 ingredients.
2. Bring water mixture and wings to a boil and then boil for 15 minutes.
3. Transfer wings to an oven safe container coated with butter.
4. Bake wings on “Broil” for 15 minutes on each side. (For crispier wings, cook longer on each side, maybe 20 minutes per side).
5. While waiting for wings, combine the hot sauce and butter ghee or clarified butter in a small pot and cook over low flame until melted.
6. When wings are done, shake ‘em up with the sauce and enjoy!

I use the Mark's Daily Apple recipe and lard when I make mine.  Except for the fact that you have to have someone stationed at the smoke detector, it is really lovely.

There'll be a celebration in my house the first time we manage to grill bacon without setting off at least one smoke detector!!
