Dinner Tonight: Breaded Chicken Wings w/ Mac and Cheese
My dad is back in the hospital. He's having some internal bleeding and they are running a series of
exams to see if they can trace it down. Hoping for the best but at 93 years old it could be anything. I was up at the hospital a couple of times today. Back at home cleaned the house for Mom and did a couple of loads of laundry for her. Another very hot and humid day out again. Even worse than yesterday, about 93 today. For dinner tonight I prepared Breaded Chicken Wings w/ Mac and Cheese (2 Comfort Foods).
I had not made Chicken Wings in a long time. While at Kroger yesterday I browsing the Meat Department and I had grabbed a package of Simple Truth Thin Cut Chicken Breasts when I seen the Chicken Wings, so I got a package of Simple Truth Chicken Wings also. I really like the Simple Truth Brand Pork and Chicken Products. Then last night I scanned the internet for a Baked Chicken Wing recipe and came across one off one of my favorite sites, Taste of Home, Breaded Chicken Wings.
To make these I'll need the following; 2/3 cup dry Progresso Italian Style Bread Crumbs, 1 teaspoon Onion Powder, 1 teaspoon dried Basil, 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian Paprika, 1 Egg, 1 tablespoon Water, Blue Cheese or your Dipping Sauce, and 10 whole Chicken Wings (I used 6 Whole Wings).
To prepare them In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the Bread Crumbs, Onion Powder, Basil,
Garlic Salt and Paprika. In a small bowl, whisk the Egg and Water. Cut Chicken Wings into three sections; discard Wing tips. My Mom likes her Wings whole so I didn't cut them up. Dip Wings in Egg, then place in bag and shake to coat. Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once. Yield: 6-8 servings. I baked them a total of 37 minutes. And we got us a winning Wing Recipe! The Wings came out with a nice crust, moist, and great flavor. Have to add this one to the "Keeper Recipes" collection. I had a side of Litehouse Lite Bleu Cheese Dressing for dipping my Wings.
Then for a side dish I had some of the goes good with anything side dish, Mac and Cheese. I used the easy prepared one, Velveeta Shells and Cheese – 2% Milk Cheese. It's a single serving of Shells and Cheese and it comes in a microwavable container. Just add water to the container, stir, and microwave for 3 1/2 minutes. Remove it from the microwave add the Velveeta Cheese packet and stir, and let stand for 3 minutes to thicken. Makes an easily prepared good Mac and Cheese! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.
