Stella Wings

20 wings (cut in half)

1/4 cup of olive oil

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of pepper

1-1/2 cup of all-purpose flour

1/2 cup of Stella Artois beer

1 cup of barbecue (original flavor) barbecue sauce

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

2. Place the wings in a mixing bowl.  Pour olive oil and a couple pinches of salt/pepper over the wings. Mix.
(**Save some olive oil for the sauce)

3. In a jumbo size (Ziploc) bag, pour flour.  Add the wings into the bag, and seal bag. Shake well.

4. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.  Place wings on the baking sheet (shake excess flour off of the wings).  No need to leave space between each wing, when placing them on the baking sheet.

5. Spray cooking spray on top of wings as well.

6. Place in the oven for 30 minutes.

7. Take the wings out and flip them over.

8. Place in the oven for an additional 30 minutes.

9. When the wings are baking for the remainder 15 minutes...it's time to make the sauce! (Please see bottom for instructions)

10. Once you take the wings out, place in a bowl.  Heat sauce just before pouring them on the wings.

11. Pour 3/4 of the sauce mixture, and stir. Add more if desired.

12. Once wings are mixed in the sauce, place back on the baking sheet.  They do not need to be laid out perfectly.

13. Put in the broiler for about 2-3 minutes until crispy. Make sure not to leave them in for too much longer or else they will burn.

~Sauce~

1. In a small pot, pour the barbecue sauce, Stella, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. 

2.  Heat on a medium-high, until sauce begins to bubble.

3.  Stir for 3 minutes. 

4.  Let cool.
