My 11 year old son absolutely loves hot wings… actually he loves wings in general but his favorite are spicy hot wings.  He recently requested that I make him what he calls “crunchy” hot wings  – in other words breaded, fried and swimming in hot sauce. These are part of my super bowl spread along with the Asian Sesame Chicken Wings.  These are good, but ever since he has acquired the taste for hot wings I have told him  that the best hot wings I have ever had were made my college roommate.  I promised him I would ask her for the recipe.  These wings are spicy and their oven baked skin is super crispy. Regina’s wing  recipe can be found here.
