It's summer, which means I am at the grill again.
Franks hot sauce
butter
Chicken wing pieces
I grill the wing pcs first, when almost done I mix the hot sauce and melted butter and start to brush it on as I rotate the wings. I use about 2 cups Franks with 1/2 stick butter, other people will say to use the whole stick, I just don't see the difference and could probably leave the butter off all together.
Tonight I put them in the oven, on warm, as the boys were working at the firework stand and it was one of those nights that everyone would be eating as they came and went. The wings stayed yummy, and they were in there for about 5 hours.
Serve with salad and ranch dressing and the boys are happy.

I'm a busy mom with 4 growing boys....recently divorced and back to school myself full time to add to the chaos. Gluten Free cooking scares a lot of people, but it shouldn't....I'm hopeful that this blog can help people make the transition a little less scary.

About Me

- I'm the mother of 4 boys.....from high school graduate to elementary school, 10 year span from oldest to youngest. Recently divorced, back to school full time, was a stay at home mom for 15 years. Diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis in 1999, Gluten Allergy/Celiac in 2005. Have not had an RA flare up since going GF!!! There isn't enough money in the world to make me eat gluten!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....
1. I babble. A lot. In real life and in cyber space. Sorry, it is just is who I am and I'm not likely to change that about myself anytime soon.
2. My recipes are usually a mish mash of more than one that I have 'tweaked'. So just beware if you follow one of my recipes. I rarely make the exact same thing twice, there is usually some variant. Play, have fun, it's food, enjoy it!!!
3. Cooking times on all my recipes are approximations. I rarely set a timer. I've gotten better at setting the timer as life has gotten crazier, but I still like to burn things on occasion, just to keep everyone on their toes. Plus it's a good excuse to open the windows and air out the house.
4. I have picky boys. Your boys might not like the taste, texture, color of some of my recipes, but my boys do and that is all I can strive for. Sorry, I can't make everyone happy, I just do what I can to keep my crew on the go.
5. If you have something I need to try, some tweak you have made, some bad outcome, let me know.....I like to change things up and may not have tried what you have tried.
6. Cooking is an experiment. You have to be able to fail and just have fun. If the crust is bad, then eat the filling, if the filling is bad then eat the crust, and if the whole thing is bad, well, just open a bottle of wine and tell the kids to make soup.
7. Always remember, Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall always be amused.......

We have identical recipes, but different methods.
Instead of basting the wings while on the grill, I bring the Frank's and butter to a boil in a big saucepot (or large skillet), and kinda stir-fry the wings in the sauce. It binds the sauce to the wings nicely, then to keep them warm, I just put a little extra sauce in the pot with them, turn the heat all the way down and cover.
I sorta tried this Mikki! Only I used a big aluminum pan and sat it in the middle of the grill with only the side burners on, so it was indirect heat. Was fabulous!!!
