Got some family members bout to be pissed at me but here it goes:
REAL BUFFALO WINGS (Made the Buffalo, NY way)
Ingredients:
1. Whole chicken wings (u want to split them yourself with a chopping knife. They'll taste better than already pieced out/store bought)
2. Unsalted butter 1/2 a stick
3. Frank's Red Hot - 3 cups. (has to be franks - dudes family invented the buffalo wings we all love)
4. Honey - half cup
5. Flour - 3 to 4 cups
6. Spices - salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, Lawrys (these spices are you're own prerogative and you can improvise. You will add these to the flour to create a breading)
7. Cooking oil
Process:
After you've split your chicken wings, you will want to bread them. Do NOT use egg. This is NOT the New York way ... it is the Hooters (Florida) way. Needs to be a light breading so they can fry up nice and crispy not some oil soaked, caked on mess.
Add your spices to a ziplock bag with flour in it. Shake it up. Then shake your wings in the flour bag. Set aside wings while oil is heating. Deep fryers are great but not necessary to pull these off. If you dont have a deep fryer, get a deep pot and fill it with oil. I recommend using either corn oil or peanut oil.
While the oil is heating, it's time to start preparing the sauce. In a microwavable bowl (not plastic) melt the butter and honey together. Once smooth, add the Frank's hot sauce and stir well. - Done
Once the oil is crackling hot, you are ready to begin frying the wings. Buffalo Wings should be very crispy so make sure to fry them for a good 12
Minutes (stovetop) or around 8-9 minutes in a deep fryer.
Remove from oil. Immediately begin dipping each wing into the bowl of prepared sauce. Tongs work well for this as they are extremely hot.
You have now made Real Buffalo style chicken wings. Give yourself a pat on the back.
One last tip if I may,
In Buffalo, they serve their wings with Blue cheese. I know Ranch is the popular choice down here but If u have never tried it, go for it. It's the best way
Serve with carrot and/or celery sticks.
Go Vols!
Enjoy!
