Wings, Guacamole, veggies, chips....

It takes more time to make your own wings than call the delivery place, I'm not going to lie.  Making wings is a time consuming process.  First, they need to be coated in a mixture of flour, garlic powder, salt, & cayenne pepper.  Let the wings rest in the fridge for ~1hr.  While the wings were sitting in the fridge, I figured that would be an opportune time to make some guacamole.  I love avocados more than goat cheese...I know...it's a serious obsession.  Avocados are full of great stuff, but also packed with fat and calories, so as much as I'd love to just dig in with a spoon, I won't, but they are delicious, which is why when I make guac, I mash the avocado with nothing more than a clove of garlic, a little sea salt, and juice of half a lime.  Now, back to those wings...speaking of everything in moderation.  Those wings I previously mentioned get coated in a mix of half a cup of butter and half a cup of franks red hot.  Throw them in the oven at 425 for an hour (flipping once half way), then put them under the broiler for a few just to get that EXTRA crispy goodness.  I'm sorry to say, I don't have a good picture of these wings...why?

Because this was all that was left of the 6lbs of wings by the time I took out my camera.---->

THIS is why you need the veggie sticks!  Balance, people.  I need a salad.  ASAP!
