AUTISM IN LOVE is a feature length documentary film exploring how adults with autism fall in love and manage romantic relationships.

This project is something I back and strongly support. A long time, dear friend of mine (Matt Fuller) is the producer and director of this beautiful, eye opening documentary. Please click the link to get more information on the project and, if you can, donate- even $5 will help. If you can’t donate, please SHARE this link. I am determined to help them reach their financial goal so that they can finish making this documentary. They only have a few days left so let’s see if we can make this happen!

Super Bowl Party Recipes: Buffalo Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Dressing

3- 3 1/2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed (about 15-17)
canola oil
celery sticks

Buffalo Sauce:
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup hot chili sauce
1/4 cup Tabasco
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon ketchup

Blue Cheese Dressing:
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

1. For the buffalo sauce, whisk all ingredients in a bowl.

2. For the blue cheese dressing, stir ingredients together in a small bowl. It will be lumpy.

3. Pour 4-5 inches of canola oil in a medium pot over high heat. Pat wings dry. Place in very hot oil (about 350 degrees F) for 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. If you don’t have a thermometer, test the oil’s heat by adding a bit of chicken fat to the hot oil. It should sizzle and float to the top, surrounded by bubbles. Place on a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Cook in batches so they’re not overcrowded.

4. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl and cover with buffalo sauce. Toss well. Serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Note: When buying chicken wings, look for “party wings” or wings that already have the tips removed. They’re usually slightly more expensive, but you get more meat for your money and will save time by not having to remove the tips yourself.

Healthier Baked Buffalo Wings (if you must):
1. Spread chicken wings in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon canola oil and season with salt and black pepper. Bake at 425 degrees F for 25 minutes, turning once, or until golden brown and crispy.
