Spicy Chicken Wings

Chicken wings (We used drumsticks instead of wings because they have more meat on them.)
Frank's Hot Sauce

1. Preheat oven to 375*.
2. Rinse and dry chicken.
3. Roll in Frank's Hot Sauce. Pour the remaining over the top of chicken.
4. Place on foil lined and greased cookie sheet.
5. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through.
6. Top with some fresh sauce.
7. Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.

* These were so fast and easy that my husband actually made them! We love the taste of Frank's Hot Sauce and these drumsticks turned out great! They smelled amazing while they were baking and the flavor was delicious.

Honey Chicken Skewers

1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1. Place twenty 8-inch wooden skewers in water to soak. Heat grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, combine ketchup, honey, and Worcestershire sauce; set aside.

2. Slice the chicken lengthwise into twenty 1/2-inch-thick strips {or use chicken tenderloins and avoided this step}. Thread each strip onto a wooden skewer. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

3. Lightly oil the grill. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes, basting with the ketchup mixture during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

* Only 3 ingredients to make a simple and tasty chicken dish?! Yes, please! The flavor of this chicken was very light and mild but good. We would have liked a bit of a stronger flavor but it was still yummy! I served the chicken with some extra basting sauce on the side to dip it in and that helped a lot. I used whole chicken breasts instead of doing pieces on skewers and it still worked out great..
