Chicken Wings Vegas Style

4 pounds of chicken wings, washed, cut at joints 
1 stick of butter/margarine 
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper 
2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar 
Oil to deep-fry

Heat frying oil to medium high. In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add vinegar and whisk cayenne pepper into the melted butter.

Dredge wings in flour and deep fry until brown and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.

Put wings in the saucepan, tossing them until evenly coated. Put in paper lined basket and serve with Ranch dressing and carrot and celery sticks. Pig out! Butter should run down your elbows, so keep napkins and towelettes handy!

Art C's Easy Hors D'oeuvres

 
Bacon wrapped Water Chestnuts 
1 can water chestnuts 
Strips of bacon - enough to wrap each chestnut

Fry bacon in a skillet to the point where they are still flexible and are almost to the 'crispy' stage. Wrap each slice around a water chestnut and skewer with a toothpick to hold in place.

Arrange the wrapped chestnuts as a single layer in a low-rimmed casserole dish and pour soy sauce in to immerse them about half-way.

Place casserole dish in a pre-heated 350-375� oven for about 10-15 minutes.

I make a nacho dip of avocados, tomatoes, onions, taco seasoning, sour cream, black olives, bean dip, and cheddar cheese.

Spread a 9x13 pan with bean dip. Spread a mashed avocado or two on top. Sprinkle the taco seasoning on top of that. Spread sour cream evenly over the entire top. Chop fresh tomatoes and layer them all over. Chop up the onion and do the same. Slice the black olives and sprinkle them over it. Sprinkle cheese over the entire surface. Microwave on high for 2 minutes (900 watts)

Then you can use Nacho chips, veggies etc. to dip. Yummy!
