Recipe: Place a 6-quart saucepan, with a steamer basket and 1 inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Use kitchen shears or a knife to separate the wings at the joint. Place the wings in the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam 10 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry. Lay out the wings on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator to dry, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Remove the paper towels on the pan and replace with parchment paper.Roast on the middle rack of the oven, about 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook 20 to 30 more minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown. While the chicken is roasting, melt the butter in a small bowl with the garlic. Pour this along with the hot sauce and ½ teaspoon salt into a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken and stir to combine. Remove the wings from the oven, transfer to the bowl and toss with the sauce. Serve warm.

Creating an Open Mouth Puppet Start by outlining the mouth with a white makeup pencil and then make the outline of the teeth by separating the lip into 5 equal parts then do the same on the chin. With black face paint (you can purchase at any halloween store) paint the middle area black. Draw down on both sides of the face with black for the outline, this is where you previously had the white pencil line. Using white paint draw in on the bottom lip and the chin for the teeth. Paint the top lip red and the bottom of the chin red, this will give you the illusion of an open mouth. For the eyes, start by using the same white eyeliner pencil to make 'U' shapes under the eyes and then paint the 'U' in with white face paint. Using a thin makeup brush line the bottom of the 'U' with black. Simply apply glue to fake eyelashes and glue them directly to the skin at the black line. Using a bright pink blush, apply the blush in a circular motion on the cheeks. Finish the look with freckles, you can use a thin makeup brush or an eye liner pencil.
