Uncle Bubba's Wings

This is yet another wing recipe from the January/February Food Network magazine hot wing section. This recipe is from Paula Deen (my favorite food network star!). This was a good recipe, simple and straight forward. This is a little like the Bobby Flay recipe, but not quite as good unfortunately. My favorite part is the dipping sauces, so be sure not to leave them out!

Uncle Bubba's Wings

    *  3 pounds chicken wings
    * 1 1/2 cups hot Sauce
    * 1 1/2 tablespoons Cajun spice
    * 1/2 tablespoons cayenne pepper

    * Oil, for frying
    * Buffalo Sauce, recipe follows

Combine hot sauce, and Cajun spice, pepper and garlic powder. Mix well and cover wings. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep sided pot to 350 degrees F.

Remove wings from marinade and drain off excess moisture. Add wings carefully and in batches to hot oil, it splatters. Cook until crispy about 10 minutes. Serve with dipping sauces.
