Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

The instructions are not quite correct. I've been making these for about 40 years. You don't roll them in powdered sugar until after they come out of the oven. Roll them while hot. If you have time, roll them a 2nd time after they cool a little.
I think you maybe misread the instructions?
