Rob Reynolds' Wings (Dan French Recipe)

  1. Rinse wings; dry COMPLETELY with paper towels (or won't crisp properly).
  2. Lightly (VERY lightly) coat baking sheet with PAM oil (or use extra virgin olive oil)--this is to prevent wings from sticking to sheet.
  3. Lightly salt and pepper the wings.
  4. Bake at 425 degrees for about an hour. After about 1/2 an hour, turn the wings--so as to make both sides crisp. How fast they "crisp" depends on the oven being used, so watch!
  5. Toss with sauce.

SAUCE: (for 2 1/2 pounds of wings)
  1. 1/2 cup of Franks Redhot
  2. 1/3 cup butter or margarine (margarine seeming to work for sticking to wings better)
  3. 2 Tbsp ("squirts") honey

*THESE ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! (Posted by Marya under Monica's alias.)

Wisconsin Crock Pot Chicken

You. Will. Lick. Your. Bowl.

1/2 bag frozen chicken
1/2 packet ranch salad dressing mix
salt & pepper
1/2 stick of pepper

Add the above items to the crock pot on low for 6-7 hours. You don't need too much salt or pepper because the ranch mix is salty but a little helps.

At the end of cooking time, place the following in a pan on a medium heat stovetop:

1/4 c sauce from crock pot
8 oz cream cheese cut up
1/2 c water

Heat and mix together and keep warm for about 15 minutes. Pour into crock pot and serve over rice.

**The original recipe adds a packet of onion soup mix and a can of cream of chicken soup to the sauce but this seemed to add too much sodium to me. Its really good.
