Bake the chicken wings instead of deep frying
This comment came from the main website to tell us how to bake the chicken wings instead of deep frying.
bake them instead of fry them so they didn't taste just like Hooters but they were still great and much better for you. I followed the instructions exact except I baked on a rack set over a jelly roll pan at 350 for 45 minutes. Then I turned the oven to 375 and sprayed the wings with Pam and let them bake 5 more minutes so they got crispy. Excellent and you'll never miss the deep fried taste!

Indiana Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches
Ingredients
4 boneless butterfly chops, cut about a half inch thick, or 4 boneless loin chops, cut an inch thick
1 c. flour
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. cornmeal
1 t. salt
1 t. black pepper
oil
Directions
If you bought regular loin chops, butterly them. With a sharp knife, cut them almost all the way in half, then open them. Beat the butterflied chops with a meat mallet until a quarter inch thick.
Mix the breading ingredients and put on a plate.
Heat about a half inch of oil in a heavy skillet until a one-inch cube of bread browns in about a minute, and turn the oven on warm. Dip the first tenderloin in milk, then dredge on both sides, making sure every bit is covered. Place the first in the hot oil (only do these one at a time), and fry until the bottom is golden brown, then turn, and fry until golden brown all over (this should only take five minutes if your oil is the right temperature). Drain on a paper towel, then start frying the second one. Place the first on a rack in the warm oven. Repeat the process until all four are done.
