Buffalo Wings
24 chicken wing pieces
¼ cup melted butter or light olive oil
¼ cup hot pepper sauce
3 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons hot pepper jelly (optional)
1 package dry ranch dressing mix
½ tsp paprika
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Dip chicken in mixture of butter or olive oil, hot pepper sauce, vinegar, and hot pepper jelly.
The recipe for Hot Pepper Jelly is posted below. I make it every fall. It adds sweetness to the recipe.
Ready for coating
Bake for 40 minutes. Broil for a few minutes to brown.
Hot Pepper Jelly2 Medium red or green bell peppers, cut into eighths - The color of the pepper will determine the color of the finished jelly. I do both green and red because it makes a wonderful plate of festive crackers at Christmas time.
6 Jalapeno peppers, cut in half, 4 with seeds, 2 without - I use red jalapeno pepper for the red jelly.
8 Cups sugar
2 Cups cider vinegar
2 - 3 ounce pouches of liquid pectin
Combine peppers in processor or blender; pulse until chopped fine or pureed. In large pan stir together peppers, sugar, and vinegar. Boil over high heat for 5 minutes. Add pectin. Return to boil for one minute. Skim foam.
Ladle into 9 sterilized ½ pint jars, wipe tops, put on lids and rings. Process in water bath for 15 minutes. Store in a cool dark place.
Serve over crackers spread with cream cheese.
I don't have pictures of this recipe being made because I haven't made it yet this year. I'll post pictures later this fall.
