Buffalo Wings

[Gerry Zagorski]

With Super Bowl right around the corner thought this might come in handy...

Best way to cook wings is to deep fry them but unless you have a commercial deep fryer it's a challenge because the small home fryers don't keep the oil hot enough, unless you just put a few wings at a time. So, I find at home, baking them on high heat is best.

For the wings I prefer fresh not frozen but if you must use frozen, I would defrost them before baking and be sure to separate the wings from the drums.

In a gallon plastic ziplock bag mix in 3/4 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon of garlic salt and 1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper..

Throw wings into bag and shake them around so they have a good coating on them.

Place wings on a slighty greased cookie sheet (PAM) so when baking they don't stick as much. Cookie sheet needs to be the type with sides on it because you don't want the grease from the wings spilling all over your oven.

Preheat oven to 425 and cook wings approx 25 minutes or until brown. Flip wings and cook another 20 to 25 minutes until browned.

While the wings are cooking pour yourself a beer and melt half stick of butter in a small sauce pan and add 1/2 of a 12 ounce bottle of Franks Red Hot Sauce.

When wings come out of oven put them into a large bowl, pour hot sauce over them and toss around until they are coated.

Crack another beer and Enjoy.

Who would have guessed, Gerry the chef? Sounds great. How about you just make them for me and I will by the beer?:)

[HDMarc]

Make a triple batch and I'll get a half keg:D

[Gerry Zagorski]

Sounds like we have another NJF party in the making here.. Beer, wings and women... What else do you need??Hmmmmm... maybe we do this on a boat and are fishing too :D

[reefsquater]

Mine are similar, I use black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, a pinch of cayanne, and a little salt.

In the butter-red hot sauce, I add a little rub in with it and a heaping teaspoon of BBQ sauce.

hmmmm sea trial on the 28ft coming up... should we have a dock party to see if she holds up to the true test?

Prefer grilling the wings until crispy (a must). Add a little chipolte sauce to the Franks too.
Don't cover the wings and use a wide dish when pouring on the hot sauce so they don't steam and stay crispy.

[Gerry Zagorski]

Never thought to grill them beach... I would guess you'd have to oil the grates so they don't stick to the grill???

Ahh grilled hot wings, this I do more than fish...
It's a low and slow deal, sprinkle your rub on one side of the chicken then spray with Pam lightly and repeat on other side , put wings on hot grill , turn from high to low when you put them on , give them a nudge to keep from sticking while on the first side, getting seared from high heat, after a good color develops, flip and turn heat up for a few and lower till you have color again then place wings on upper level and cook for 45 min. To an hour, or to what doneness you want, I also drizzle and brush franks through this process for more grilled in flavor, when done ill leave some plain for the ladies that prefer ranch and then toss the rest in franks hot sauce-strait, add butter if you can't take the heat. This is a long process but you can suck everything right off the bone. : note: I can jam my drum part of the wing through the upper rack to get more done at one time, takes care of 4 people

I'll put up a pic when photobucket starts better
Here we go

The drums stick right in thru the grate

Hi gang --i have recipe for a killer wing sauce. I used to own a pizza shop and sports bar and sold these by the 1000's
Here is a break down of the sauce--the name is Red Garlic Blue cheese
1 jar of franks hot sauce....large jar
1 bottle equal amount of hunts ketchup
on the stove melt 1 to 1.5 lbs of block margarine(you decide how much margarine)--do not overcook and burn
now once the margarine is melted put in the franks and ketchup
stir thoroughly---add some salt and pepper to taste
cool down ---you want the sauce to gel some and blend awhile
now add kens chunky blue cheese or maries super chunky a bunch ---or to taste--key is to turn the sauce orange then you know it's the right mix
and several tablespoons of minced garlic--the type in the jar to taste i add a bunch....now add your hot wings to the cool sauce and BAMMMMM!!! HEAVEN!
enjoy!
chill the leftover in the fridge
This is a killer sauce and even those who don't really like mild or hot sauce will love it
Best way to coat is to get a good size container/bucket and lid add some wings and shake to coat
Enjoy!

Being in the Catering Business for 33 years, I'll have 2 of my 8 fryers set up in my backyard for my Super Bowl Party....making Wings with choices of Buffalo, Sweet Chili and BBQ sauces. Also in the fryers making fresh Fried Calamari, Fresh Tortilla Chips for the Salsa and Guacomole, French Fries and Funnel Cakes a la mode for dessert..... Party ON!!!

Mine are similar, I use black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, a pinch of cayanne, and a little salt.

In the butter-red hot sauce, I add a little rub in with it and a heaping teaspoon of BBQ sauce.

got to add vinegar to the sauce to get that initial nostril blast.:eek:

[beachwhistle]

Hmmm vinegar..yeah why not.
Been adding Jake's Hot Sauce to the Franks. Picked it up at Whole Foods last year. Jake puts coffee grinds in his sauce and it works!

[JD in Trenton]

In a sauce pan heat up garlic with butter let it heat up slow. Then add the franks a little vinegar and a little honey. For boneless fried make a thin batter with 2/3 cornstarch 1/3 flour. Make small chunks out of breasts .

[pgoins]

I've been grilling mine now for a few years. For added flavor add Some Hickory, Applewood chips, or both. I have one of those induction grills so I just have to throw the chips on the bottom. I also cook them on low. Takes longer but they come out great. They don't last long and I leave some plain(without sauce) that taste great and go fast too.

I season mine with Garlic and onion powder, pinch of cayenne, sea salt, pepper, and oregano.

If I was heading to the chair Buffalo Wings would be included in my last meal. I can eat them everyday:D
