Brownie's Lip Smakin' Snackin Wingz Recipe
Poultry and spicy foods are two things a lot of us love and generally never get tired of eating. I named this recipe after my daughter Bronwyn (Brownie) because one evening she 'placed an order' and I came up with the wing sauce as per her request. She asked for "hot wings" but her hot and my hot are not one in the same. I found a happy balance that she loved and I could adjust the heat for sharing with spicy wing lovers like myself. Besides, the capsacin raises the metabolism by almost 15% so don't be so hard on yourself if you want to eat an extra one. These wings may be baked instead of fried to help shave off calories, but in moderation, these are great the way they are.

- 1 1/2 c. seasoned flour, plus extra if needed

The picckle juice really sets these wingz apart from others. There is plenty of sauce leftover, so you can use it as a tangy condiment for just about anything!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
