Seems like every restaurant now has its own special chicken wing recipe. But who wants to go out all the time? Not when there are great recipes online at places like Primo Recipes.
I found a great buffalo wings recipe at the website Nook and Cranny, a site with great recipes and photos like the one here. Here’s an excerpt from their blog post:
First created in Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY, hence the name, authentic wings are deep fried then covered with a sauce made with butter/margarine and hot sauce. It’s generally agreed that Frank’s Red Hot is the most authentic sauce to use but stay away from the Frank’s bottled buffalo sauce since that kind has weird margarine mixed in. The ratio of hot sauce to butter you use depends on how hot you want your wings. I like my wings pretty hot so I like to use a 2:1 ratio of Frank’s to butter with a shakes of Tabasco. I chose to lightly flour then pan fry the wings slowly over moderate heat, the same method I used for the salt and pepper chicken wings. Purists will say that without the deep fryer, these can no longer be called buffalo wings but this method yields a nice crispy skin and uses much less fat.
You can read the rest of the recipe at Nook and Cranny. Or you can try one of these searches for:

I’m loving the blog For the Love of Cooking, a terrific collection of recipes with great pictures. I’m especially keen to try this recipe for Kung Pao Chicken, mostly because the picture is so appealing. Here’s an excerpt from the blog post, although you’ll have to go directly to For the Love of Cooking for the recipe:
My husband and I really enjoyed this meal. Since the dish was really spicy, I took some of the chicken and cooked it with teriyaki sauce for the kids - they really liked it. I served the Kung Pao chicken over white rice and with steamed broccoli on the side. It was a fantastic meal that was quick and simple to cook. I am so excited to trying cooking another Asian recipe soon.

Just found what looks to be a terrific recipe for breaded, baked chicken legs on the website Simply Recipes. Here’s an excerpt from the blog post to give you an idea of what’s cooking:
There are many ways to do breaded and baked drumsticks (see list of recipes from other bloggers at the bottom of this recipe). This particular recipe uses a mayonnaise and mustard mixture as a first coating, then some breadcrumbs with chives for the breadcrumb coating. You could just as easily use a beaten egg for the first coat (you need something for the breadcrumbs to adhere to), and a mixture of breadcrumbs, panko, grated Parmesan, lemon zest, tarragon, or thyme for the bread crumb coating. You can also brown the drumsticks first on the stovetop and then transfer the pan to the oven (helps to use a cast iron pan if doing it this way).
You can get the full recipes at the Simply Recipes site, which I like a lot. The recipes are practical, and the pictures look amazing.
