OMG! They're the BEST WINGS EVER!

Ok, not as good as Hooters hot and breaded.
And not as good as Wings Over Blackened Cajun.
But pretty damn good for KFC.

They aren't spicy and they are half the size they show in the commercial.
Semi-related... a coworker got the hand breaded chicken tenders from Hardee's and they are so tiny! They look fairly big in the ads but in reality they are pretty small.

Tried Pizza Hut's boneless wings last night, quite good actually, try them out instead.

Which doesn't make sense since they are the same company. Pizza Hut has a wide variety of choices for wings, but KFC sucks.

Oil to 425, but 375 will work too.
Wings Frozen, but can be thawed.
12-14 minutes. Longer time = more crispiness.
Frank's Red Hot mixed w/ melted butter. More butter = less heat.
Toss and serve.

That is how you make Buffalo Wings. Everything else is a lie.

Never made wings before... what's the best type of oil to use... also, do you put the buffalo wing sauce + butter intol the pot of oil or do you slather it on after cooking the wings in the oil?

cook wings, then drain a bit. put into a bowl while still hot, drench in sauce, and toss to coat thoroughly.

Food at fast food restaurants is never as spicy as they make it out to be in the commercials.

I know, fucking pisses me off. I bought a 5-pack meal, and it cost me goddamn $9 or so and it was fucking kids meal sized. Goddamn liars.

All commercials are to one degree or another, welcome to the world of marketing and advertising.

Of all the food commercials I have seen, I think the biggest offender is Subway. The subs in the TV commercials make it look like the bread can hardly contain the contents of the sandwich. They must use little plastic structures inside the TV sub to hold everything up.

Vegetable oil works fine. It takes less cooking time if wings are thawed, but it's not really tricky.

Don't put the butter/hot sauce in oil or you are going to have an explosion. :)

Usually what I do is melt the butter in a bowl, then pour in the red hot and mix it up until it's nicely blended. If you like your wings hot you don't need a lot of button, I usually use a table spoon max for like 18 wings...it just helps the sauce "stick" a little better. If your hot sauce is refrigerated it will cause the sauce to thicken up (as the butter re solidifies).

After the wings are cooked put them in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over them and use a pair of tongs to mix them up until well coated. If you want, you can cover the bowl and toss them, but you run the risk of making them a little soggy if they sit in the sauce to long. Then put them on a dish and go to town :D

Highly recommend blue cheese dressing + celery to go with.

Warning:
Frozen wings put in hot oil = potential for big mess/fire...so be careful, don't go crazy. I usually cook 6-10 at a time in my little wok, but I also have a deep fryer. In general it's better to cook the wings uncovered, but I usually cover them with the deep fryer lid for about 15 seconds so I don't end up with a giant mess in the kitchen.
