spicy chicken wings

tropicasual's Note:

They freeze and oven reheat better than the frozen commercial boxed, but best when fresh. This is an original recipe. Feel free to add to it. The key ingredients are the Wondra flour and the buttermilk.

I was looking for something spicy to make using chicken wings, and these fit the bill. Lots of great flavors going on here. My friends and I pigged out on them and everyone enjoyed! Will make again sometime when I'm in the mood. Thanks Tropicasual!

We loved this recipe, though I have never heard of Wondra Flour and so had to sub..I chose to sub with self-raising flour. Great instructions and really great wings, we like hot so it suited us all and the family is already asking when can they have them again. Thanks for sharing!
