Buffalo, or hot wing recipes

  I have been experimenting with various base sauces and have found that for my taste either Frank's or Durkee brands make the best base. I just bought a bottle of Crystal brand sauce but haven't tried it yet.

 Here is my recipe:

1, 6oz. bottle of Franks or sauce of choice

1/4 lb. unsalted butter

2 TBS Worcestershire sauce

1 TBS celery seed

1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

a dash of cayenne pepper

a dash of pickled jalapeno juice (A few peppers too if you like it hot)

  In a small sauce pan, add butter and melt. Add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer for 20 minutes. Fry or oven bake the wings til they are crispy but not dry. In a large bowl, toss the wings with the desired amount of sauce and serve with home made Bleu cheese dressing.

 Bleu Cheese Dressing:

6 oz. crumbled bleu cheese

1/2 shallot or 1/8 cup of red onion diced fine

1/2 cup each mayo and sour cream

 juice of 1 lemon (fresh squeezed)

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce


Combine all ingredients and let sit over night for best results.
Enjoy with a good hoppy beer like Samuel Adams or an I.P.A.

Happy Eating!!!

David, thank you for sharing the recipe !

I'm always working on new menu ideas  for TOMMY B'S PHILLY CHEESE,   and I think I'll try a  Buffalo Chicken Wing Cheesesteak, with your Bleu Cheese on the side.

Thank you!

Thank you for sharing that with us on here.

  I tried the search function on this site but couldn't find a thread for this topic so I thought I would start this discussion. Any other recipes would be welcome!!

There is a huge thread somewhere with a ton of Buffalo Wing recipes.......sorry I'm PC challenged, or I would try and post the link. I know it's here somewhere though.....

I can find tons of sauce recipes, but how do you cook the wings, themselves?

Deep fried of course!!!!!!!

My recipe for buffalo wings is ony three ingredients.  Frank's hot sauce, real butter, and minced garlic.  Simmer over the stove for a few minutes, pour into a bowl and add wings.  Wella!  I like the idea of adding worcestershire sauce, I'll have to give that a try.

I toss them with a little oil and a little melted butter and seasonings (rubbed in well) and bake them at about 425 until done, turning often.

Thanks,rebeltruce and jmckee. I think I'll try the baking method so I won't need flour.

I go from the butter to the Red Hot sauce to the plate thats it...Russ

  Mike S. I was not looking for web sites I was looking to see if this topic was here on Roadfood. I couldn't find it so I started this thread.

Find a good BBQ sauce you like, add Frank's Extra hot sauce, toss your wings in, see what you think!

  Well, we finally got around to trying the Crystal brand hot sauce. My wife and I both found the sauce was a little bland. I still prefer Frank's or Durkee brand. I am going to try to make wings with the Tabasco Chipotle next time.
 I will use the same basic recipe as posted above.

JMHO

Can't go wrong with butter and Frank's with a little Tabasco for some heat....this is how the originals were made for the most part.

Nothing the matter with experimenting though! Oh and you don't need flour if your deep fry your wings, just throw in the fryer for 6-8 minutes. Don't overcook them though.

I wish I could figure out how to link that other RF thread there were probably 100 different recipes.

I always cut my wings into sections and leave them uncovered over night on a rack set in a baking sheet in the fridge. This allows the surface (skin) to dry out a bit, seems a bit labor intensive but WELL WORTH the effort. The skin crisps up beautifully in the fryer after drying a bit.

I like to use Frank's, butter, granulated garlic, black pepper, and a dash each of ground ginger and ground curry powder.

 We grilled a bunch of wingettes last night - I was in a rush coming in from work late - put them in a bag with  Crystal hot sauce, a little olive oil, and a few heavy dashes of Weber Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning.

Grilled them until they were crispy - served them with some guacamole, shrimp dip and crispy tortilla chips.

20 oz Franks Red Hot
1 Stick Butter
(up to 1 oz tabasco)
5 lbs wings.


That's it. That's a Buffalo Wing.

Some use margarine - that's fine, I don't personaly care for it, but that's your choice.

Anything else from Garlic to jalapeno pepper juice, and it ain't no Buffalo wing. It may be a chicken wing, but not a buffalo wing.

Heck, growing up, we didn't call it a "buffalo wing," they were just, "wings." There was only one way to prepare them. Today, they call that wing of my childhood a "Buffalo Wing."

Just wanted to mention you could use the "advanced search" tab on the Google page, and one of the search parameters (near the bottom) is website.

Also, the format is "search words site:website" (no colon website after it).

Thanks for reminding me we can do this. I spend way too much time looking for, and figuring out the individual search styles for each web site I visit.

  O.K., so, I made wings again tonight. This time I used 4 oz. of Frank's Red Hot, 1 oz each Cholula, Tabasco Chipotle, and Crystal Wing Sauce. All of the rest of the ingredients were also present minus the jalapeno juice. Very good but a little spicier than the last batch. ( More cayenne! ) I forgot to get celery though. It helps to kill some of the heat.
