\u00a0Likewise, Buffalo wings have been pigeonholed into being a &#8220;party&#8221; food, and rarely show up for the family dinner. \u00a0Why is that?<\/p>\n<p>Wings are not hard to make, but I feel like they&#8217;re a little hard to eat. \u00a0So I made a recipe that is a twist on the fiery-hot Buffalo wings, and is easier to eat, because it calls for drumsticks instead of wings. \u00a0There&#8217;s no frying, you control the level of heat, and they are easy to make and eat. \u00a0What&#8217;s not to love?<\/p>\n<p>The secret ingredient is not-so-secret, since I bought it at Target! \u00a0It&#8217;s an Indian spice blend called garam masala. \u00a0Garam masala recipes vary by neighborhood and family in India, so there&#8217;s no one authentic combination of spices. \u00a0The one that I bought features black pepper, cardamon, coriander, and cinnamon. \u00a0It smells sort of like Chai tea, but is not sweet in and of itself. \u00a0If you can&#8217;t find garam masala, you can substitute one part ground cumin and one part pumpkin pie spice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/garam-masala-e1360216333497.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"garam masala\" src=\"http:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/garam-masala-e1360216333497-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The traditional accompaniment to Buffalo wings is carrot and celery sticks with bleu cheese dressing. \u00a0To make this a dinner, why not serve a big salad with bleu cheese dressing, or even a fancy wedge of iceberg lettuce with bleu cheese and diced bacon?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indian-Spiced Drumsticks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"line-height: 13px\">10-12 drumsticks<\/span><\/li>\n<li>1\/2 stick butter<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon granulated garlic<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons (or more!) hot pepper sauce, like Tabasco or Sriracha<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon\u00a0garam masala, or 1\/2 teaspoon ground cumin and 1\/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 lime, lemon, or orange, juiced<\/li>\n<li>a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n<li>salt and pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Directions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 375*F. \u00a0Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. \u00a0Spray with cooking spray, and lay out the drumsticks. \u00a0Don&#8217;t crowd them &#8211; make sure there&#8217;s plenty of room around them!
