Last of the Dragon's Breath!


The new year rolls around and a new batch of wings is born.As we are about to leave the Dragon's year I thought some dragon's breath wings might be appropriate. Snacking on some kettle fried jalapeno tater ', chips a little while back I thought 'Hmmmm,could be a nice coating for some hot wings"! So, idea born and on new year's eve brought to fruition.
  The main idea here is to make wings to the heat of your liking so look in the pantry/fridge for condiments with the heat you desire. In this case we chose a commercial buffalo wing sauce, some habanero hot sauce, cholula hot sauce, alegro marinating sauce, sweet,spicy mango marinade and some pace medium picante sauce.

The frozen wing sections came in  a 4 pound zip closure bag so we used that for the marinating process...
  The night before you want wings, pour the above ingredients into the bag of chicken along with a cup of vinegar and whatever dry ingredients you think you can handle...chili powder, cajun seasoning, HABANERO powder etc...Let wings marinate overnite in cooler or fridge. Drain marinade into saucepan.
    Crush jalepeno tater chips, add a couple tsp corn starch and some hot chili powder (habanero for extra heat). Dredge wings in chips, place on lightly greased baking pan and place in 425 degree oven. After 10 minutes lower oven temp to 350, turn wings and resume cooking for another 15 minutes.  While chicken is cooking reduce marinade in sauce pan to make dipping sauce. Grab a bunch of napkins, a cold drink and eat 'em up! Happy New Year!
