Super Crunch Oven Cooked Honey Dipped Wings

Super Crunch Oven Cooked Honey Dipped Wings

Ingredients
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
20 chicken wings, separated at joints, tips discarded
3 cups cornflakes cereal, crushed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
Whisk together the buttermilk, hot pepper sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken wings, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 12 to 24 hours.
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine the crushed cornflakes, flour, cornmeal, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, and squeeze off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Press the wings into the cornflake mixture and place onto the prepared baking sheets. Spray the top of the wings with nonstick cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is no longer pink and is pulled easily from the bone, 30 to 40 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, stir together the honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat until the honey thins. Keep warm until the wings are ready. Once the chicken has cooked, place the wings into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the honey sauce. Toss until evenly coated. Now you will have a big pile of hot, crunchy, spicy, sticky wings.

Oven-Baked Pancake with Blueberries and Strawberries

4 tbs unsalted butter
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt 3 eggs
1 1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder 1 cup blueberries
1 cup quartered strawberries
powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Preheat the oven to 450 F. Place the butter in a 10-in oven-proof skillet (preferably cast iron), and place it in the oven. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. Add this to the dry ingredients, and whisk until combined and smooth.Wearing an oven mitt, remove the hot skillet from the oven (the butter should be bubbling), and pour in the batter all at once. Sprinkle the berries evenly over the top, and return the skillet to the oven. Bake until the pancake is nicely browned and puffed around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the pancake from the oven. Carefully transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
