Today is our daughter, Rachel's 34th birthday. Yesterday was Valentines Day. 34 years ago yesterday I woke up at 6:00 A.M. in labor. So we thought she was going to be born on Valentines Day. She decided to make us wait until 3:41 A.M. on the 15th instead. Which is fine, as that was her great-grandfathers birthday. I didn't know that at the time; as it was my husbands grandfathers birthday. My mother-in-law told me later that evening. So the 15th is actually better than the 14th for her birthday.
I made dinner yesterday for Valentines Day and an early birthday dinner for Rachel. We will probably go out to eat later , to Red Lobster, (her choice), so it was mostly a Valentines Day dinner. We all love traditional Fried Chicken. So I made an exception yesterday and actually fried it. Here is a recipe that also, not exactly on the diet, but can be adapted. I already posted an oven-fried Chicken recipe. So this is a different recipe that includes frying or baking Chicken, whichever you choose:
Hot Wings
5 Wings Per Serving (in 2 pieces per wing).
Butter.
Hot Sauce (1/2 cup).
Unbleached Flour (2 cups).
Seasoned Salt or Seasoned Salt Substitute.
Pepper.
Oil for frying Chicken.
Preheat the skillet, with enough Canola Oil to fry the Chicken in.
Mix the flour and seasoning together in a freezer bag or plastic container with a sea-tight lid.
Put the Chicken wing halves, in the bag or container, about 4 at a time.
Shake to coat.
Set on a tray until all pieces are coated.
Place the floured and seasoned Chicken in the skillet and fry until done.
Remove from the skillet and allow to drain.
Melt the Butter.
Add the Hot Sauce and blend together.
Put the fried Chicken in the sauce and coat on all sides.
Remove to platter.
Serve.
Delicious!
This would be a great game day treat. But it works for dinner, too.
Lighter version:
Preheat oven to 350 Deg.
Place the Chicken on a baking tray.
Season Chicken to cook, but use no flour.
Spray with Cooking Spray.
Bake in 350 Deg. oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until done and a little crispy.
Use less butter in the sauce and coat the same as original recipe.
