Food by the Fullmer Girls Husbands! Blakes Buffalo Wings

Yes, Blake made us dinner!! Oh and it was so good. Cooking was something that I could do that Blake didn't. I should've known that Blake would be good at it, because he's good at everything. So if you didn't know I gave in to getting cable. I know I was a cruel wife last year and just loved having Blake to myself without cable distracting him. Blake wanted it really bad so we got it. I thought for sure he would just be obsessed with sports like the rest of the boys.. surprisingly I think he's only watched ESPN like twice since we got it a couple weeks ago. The shows that he watches include: chopped, cupcake wars, cake boss, extreme couponers, and really anything on the food channel, TLC, or documentry shows. This was a great surprise for me, because I enjoy these kind of food and other shows. The other day I teased him that I wanted dinner ready for me when I got home from dance. I knew it wouldn't happen, so I made dinner. Today though we got home and I asked him what he wanted for dinner, so I could prepare something before teaching Zumba. He told me that he was going to make dinner tonight. He was serious. He asked what to make, and I told him that deciding what to eat comes with making dinner. He accepted and then asked what websites I usually use to find recipes, so he was off in his "office" looking up recipes to make. He got a list together of the things he needed and we ran to the store to get a few items we didn't have. He wouldn't tell me what he was making, but that I was to go to teach Zumba and it would be ready when I got back. If any of you are familar with the show chopped you can only imagine how my husband was acting while preparing this meal. He pretended he only had a certain amount of time to cook it. Oh if you could've all watched him you would all see why I love him as much as I do. Before I left I had to show him where the flour and a few other ingredients where, that's how much  time he spends in the kitchen. Oh if you didn't know Blake has never cooked since we've been married. He honestly doesn't eat unless I make him something. He won't even eat an apple, unless I cut it up for him. And I swear he thinks knives are so scary, he's always telling me to be careful and that I'm going to cut myself. It's hilarious! So when I got home, about 50 minutes later, I got this adorable man in the kitchen preparing these wings!

 When I first saw that he was frying these wings I got very nervous, because I try to stay away from fried foods. But I made an exception, because how do you tell your adorable cook no.  I asked him if he loved cooking, when I got him, and he said "No! It takes too long!" Ha, I just laughed and started cleaning up the mess he had made. He finished, not on his time limit though, but it didn't matter, and it was time to taste the food. He even pulled this sauce, he had made, out of the microwave. Oh it was all SO yummy! He will now cook dinner everynight. I was once again humbled, because I realized that my husbands first meal was better than all the meals I've made in our first year of marriage.

Blake's Buffalo Wings

Ingredients

oil for deep frying

1 cup flour

2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 egg

1 cup milk

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch strips

1/4 cup hot pepper sauce

1 tablespoon butter

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Combine flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a large bowl. Whisk together the egg and milk in a small bowl. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, and then roll in the flour blend. Repeat so that each piece of chicken is double coated. Refrigerate breaded chicken for 20 minutes.

Fry chicken in the hot oil, in batches. Cook until the exterior is nicely browned, and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes a batch.

Combine hot sauce and butter in a small bowl. Microwave sauce on High until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Pour sauce over the cooked chicken; mix to coat.
