Original Hot Wings-- THIS is only the basic -- see below for my favorites:

INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips discarded
1/2 cup Frank's REDHOT Cayenne Pepper Sauce (or more to taste)
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
Blue cheese dressing (optional)
Celery sticks (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1!. Bake wings 45 minutes at 425°F until fully cooked and crispy, turning halfway!.
2!. Combine Frank's RedHot Sauce and butter in bowl!.
3!. Toss wings in sauce to coat completely!. Serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks!.
-------
Buffalo Wings ( like Hooter's)

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp!. salt
1/2 tsp!. paprika
1/2 tsp!. garlic powder
1/2 tsp!. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp!. black pepper
20 chicken wing segments
1 cup butter OR margarine
1/2 cup hot sauce **

-In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and peppers!.
-Coat chicken entirely in the flour mixture; refrigerate coated wings for 1 hour; coat chicken again with remaining flour mixture!.
-In a 2-quart saucepan, heat butter and hot sauce just until butter melts; turn heat to low and keep warm on stove top!.
-Deep-fry chicken, 8 - 10 pieces at a time, in 375 degree oil (vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil) for 13 minutes, turning once or twice!.
-Drain chicken on a wire cooling rack for 30 seconds, then immediately toss fried chicken in buffalo sauce mixture and remove with a slotted spoon!.
-Repeat with remaining chicken!.

Adjusting the spiciness of the sauce: As is, the recipe produces a medium sauce!. To change the amount of spiciness, simply adjust the butter-to-hot sauce-ratio:
Mild: Use 3/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup hot sauce!.
Hot: Use 1/4 cup butter and 3/4 cup hot sauce!.

Notes: **
Use ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing as a dip for these fabulous wings

Chicken Quesadillas

Marinate your chicken breasts in fahita sauce!. (I use World Harbor brand!.!.!.I think that's the name-clear bottle, blue lid-Delicious!) Bake in the oven on 400 degrees until done (about 20 minutes)!. In the meantime, open 1-2 cans of diced green chilies (depending on your taste!.) Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces!. If you have a quesadilla maker, heat that, otherwise you can use the microwave!. Put a soft tortilla shell first, then layer the chicken, cheese, green chilies and bacon bits or crumbled bacon!. Place another tortilla shell on top and heat until the cheese is melted!. Serve with sour cream!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cajun Meat Pies
If you don't have time to make the pastry, pre-made egg roll wrappers work well, but your own home made pastry is much better!.
Makes about 25 (4-inch) pies

1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt

1!. In a bowl combine flour, sugar, and salt!. Pour into a food processor with the blade attachment!. Add shortening in small chunks while processor is on!. Mix well until flour and shortening form pea-sized balls, then add milk a little at a time until dough forms together!. Pour dough out on floured sheet and roll out to 1/16-inch thick!. Cut out 4-inch circles!. Lightly flour both sides and reserve!.

2!. Place 2 tablespoons filling in center circle of pastry!. Moisten ends of circle with egg; fold over to form a half circle and press to seal (a fork works well)!.

3!. Deep fry at 350 degrees F until brown!. Drain on paper towel!. Serve!.

Note: You can bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 8 minutes; turn over and bake other side 8 minutes or until brown!.

Pulled-Pork Tacos
Real Simple

2 to 2 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 cup apricot jam or preserves
2 jalape?os, sliced into rings and seeded
1 red onion, roughly chopped
8 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges

Heat oven to 300° F!.

Place 2 large sheets of aluminum foil on a work surface, one atop the other!. Place the pork in the center of the foil and season on all sides with the salt, pepper, and cumin!. Spoon the jam over the pork, turning to coat!. Scatter the jalape?os and onion around the pork!. Fold the double layer of foil around the pork and crimp the edges to seal tightly!. Place in a baking dish!. Roast until fork-tender, about 4 hours; let cool!. Unwrap the pork, reserving the juices and discarding the foil!. Use a fork to shred the pork!. Transfer to a bowl!. Pour the cooking juices, onion, and jalape?os over the pork and toss!. Serve with the tortillas, cilantro, and lime wedges!.

Tip: The best place to warm the tortillas is in the oven: it's quicker than a skillet and less drying than a microwave!. As soon as you remove the pork, turn off the heat, wrap the tortillas in foil, and warm them for 10 to 20 minutes!.

Yield: Makes about 6 servings
