Melodee's Hot Wings

I don't remember where I got this recipe, but I have tweaked it here and there over the years. My family likes this version because it is not sloppy wet like so many others out there. However, this recipe can be served wet too.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 2-6

Ingredients

• 5  lbs chicken legs or 5  lbs chicken wings (tips removed)

• Hot Sauce Mixture

• 2 (6 ounce) bottles  Bruce's  hot sauce (or your favorite brand)

• 1⁄3 cup  Italian salad dressing, not creamy
• 2  teaspoons lemon juice
• 2  teaspoons dried basil leaves

Directions

1. Broil chicken until done and is a nice golden crispy brown.
2. Mix up sauce while chicken is cooking.
3. Once chicken is done, dip each piece of chicken into sauce and return to broiler.
4. Allow sauce to become a bit dry being careful not to burn.
5. Dip each piece of chicken in sauce again and put under broiler one more time making sure to put opposite side up.
6. Eat with Chicken flavored noodles and a veggie for a complete meal, or do as we do and pig out without anything else.
7. ENJOY!
