My Buffalo Wing Recipe for todays game

[OutHouse]

I make this every year.

2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika
5 pounds of chicken wings
1/2 cup butter OR margarine
12 ounces of Trappys Red Devil hot sauce
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder


-In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
-Coat chicken in the flour mixture; refrigerate coated wings for 1 hour; coat chicken again with remaining flour mixture.
-In a 2-quart saucepan, heat butter, hot sauce, pepper, and garlic powder just until butter melts; turn heat to low and keep warm on stove top.
-Deep-fry chicken, 8 - 10 pieces at a time, in 375 degree oil for 13 minutes.
-Drain chicken on brown paper bags.
-Immediately toss fried chicken in buffalo sauce mixture and remove with a slotted spoon.
-Repeat with remaining chicken.

Adjusting the spiciness of the sauce: As is, the recipe produces a medium sauce. To change the amount of spiciness, simply adjust the butter-to-hot sauce ratio:
Mild: Use 3/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup hot sauce.
Hot: Use 1/4 cup butter and 3/4 cup hot sauce.

sounds good, exactly how I prepare them - deep fried.

I have tried to bake them, because i try to stay away from fried foods. but baked wings just dont taste the same as fried.

yeah, to me that isn't even buffalo wings. Frying them gets em nice and crispy. And if your oil is the correct temperature they really aren't greasy (well, all the butter in the sauce is greasy, but not the wings themselves)

one tip for ya - instead of putting salt in the sauce put some salt/pepper/cayenne immediately on the wings as they come out of the fryer. Toss and then throw on your sauce.

That's what they all say

When I make wings I just use Franks Hot Sauce and butter... makes a damn good wing and is much simpler. 🙂

i'm going to a super bowl party later and i hope there are so wings

i had the cravings for some ribs last night and went to my local sam's club and picked up some . . . not as good as homemade but still tasty!

If you fry correctly - there is very little fat added.

I made boneless buffalo chicken chunks using a similar recipe to the one Citrix posted (except I went 3/4 Franks Red Hot and 1/4 BBQ because I ran out of redhot). My little deep frier uses about a quart of oil - when I was shopping I couldn't remember how much oil I needed so I bought 2, one quart bottles.

I cooked two pounds of chicken and let the oil cool back down. I filtered it and put it back in the original one quart bottle.

Compared side to side, there was only about a 2-3 tablespoon difference in oil - AND I had spilled a little when filtering. Can't forget about the oil on the fried chicken that gets drained off onto newspaper either.

So that means in two pounds of chicken (easily four servings) there was at most 3 tablespoons of extra fat.

I'll take 3 tablespoons of fat for super good eats any day 😀

Sure if you leave the chicken in the oil for 10 minutes you're going to soak it up with fat. The trick is to fry a few pieces first (3-4) and remove them one at a time after about 2 minutes in the oil. Cut them open and see if they're done - if they are, that's how long the remaining stuff needs to go in.

Edit: Alton Brown's "I'm Just Here for the Food" is required reading for top-frying skills 😛
