Pat's Buff-A-Que Go Sox Wings

Hey! Today is the big day! In honor of Opening Day 2007, my brother Pat sent over his famous "Buff-A-Que Go Sox Wings" recipe. He's a darn good cook, so if you're in a rally-wing-making-mood, give it a shot. Take it away Pat...

Ingredients:

• Fresh Chicken Wings
• Ground Pepper
• Salt
• Good BBQ Sauce (not Kraft, but something from the specialty food aisle)
• Wing Sauce (I like Emerils, or Franks Wing Sauce)
• Tabasco Sauce

Preparation:
Arrange wings on a baking sheet or broiler pan (better), and line with aluminum foil. The aluminum foil is important because this will get messy. Season wings on both sides with salt and pepper. Put them in a preheated 400 degree oven and throw your timer on for 35 minutes.

While they are cooking take this time to make your buff-a-que sauce. In a large bowl you want to add an equal amount of wing sauce to BBQ sauce. If you are a Yankees fan, you might want to add more BBQ sauce to take the heat down. If you are a die hard Sox fan, add some Tabasco Sauce. Mix thoroughly.

After the wings are in the oven for 20 minutes take them out, flip them over and baste them with the buff-a-que sauce. Coat them really well! Put back in the oven. 10 minutes later take them out, and flip them over. Add another thick coat of sauce to the wings. Put back in the oven so that they get crispy. Take them out when they look mouth watering good. Give them one more fresh coat of sauce. Arrange on a platter, and rally. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Don't forget the Blue Cheese! I like to buy the Marie's Chunky Blue Cheese dressing from the produce aisle of the supermarket. There aren't enough chunks in it so get a container of crumbled blue cheese too. Mix this all together, and garnish with celery or carrots. For best results, serve with Pete's Wicked Rally Cap Ale.

Go Sox!
