Hot (aka Buffalo) Wings
 

I am a hot wing freak. I love hot wings. I could eat them 4 or 5 days a week. Anyone have a fav reciepe or who likes them where the best. Wife and I go to Hooters for their Daytona Wings and so far cannot duplicate that reciepe. But I have found some interesting ones that we have tried from the web.

Oh my god...that sounds awesome.....Wings....spicy...mmmm....yummmy....crispy...mmm...droooool...

Alright..you have officially made me so hungry that I have to go seek food.

And beer...

Damn it.....Now I have to go get wings and I don't know who sells the damn things here in Santa Fe ... It's all Mexican food..Merc...you are destroying my life!!
Google Google.....
;)

Update:

I now have to drive 16 miles out of my way to find a pizza place with wings and get a movie.
Well F you very much Merc.

My hot wings are simply deep fried, then tossed with Frank's red hot sauce, and a dash of garlic.
When we get creative, we mix honey garlic sauce with the red hot.... actually any sauce tossed on them after they are done works well, including ranch dressing.

I do my reciepes from scratch. Hot sauce is always and ingredient. I usually clean them and remove excess fat. Then I just cook them on an open grate charcoal grill till they are crispy. Then put them in one of those big foil pans like you cook a turkey in, put all the wings in the pan and dump the sauce over the top till they are covered in a soup of sauce. Let them cook for another hour or so on indirect heat, remove and serve.

oh dear....baked? no no no no no

deep fried until crispy.....then you get a metal bowl, put in the hot wing sauce

and blue cheese, not ranch, ....christ!

I fry them in a wok, and then toss them in a mixture of hot sauces thinned with a little "butter". Not very often though. Jim orders them from the delivery place down the street, but they fuck them up a lot... make them so hot you can't eat them (and I like spicy).

4 litres of hot sauce??? lol You'd want to eat a lot of it. (I'm looking at the pic of the Schultz's sauce of course)

You'd use it for other stuff besides chicken wings right?

no....i just wanted a big picture of it. i usually use Ken's .....it comes in a salad dressing sized bottle.

1/2 cup Luisana hot sauce
1/4 cup green tobasco
1/4 cup red tobasco
1 stick of REAL butter
5 lbs of wings
( you can play with the hottness of the sauce by subing Habanyero sauce for the red tobasco or what ever you like )
clean and prep the wings ,
melt the butter ,
mix the sauces ,
add to the butter , get a gallon Or bigger zip lock bag
pour the sauce and butter in , put the wings in
mix and rotate every now and then for 4+hours
grill the wings and drizzle the sauce over them as they cook ,

Blue cheese is a MUST !!!!
Oh and beer !!!

Here's a bit of trivia for you. Those things you call Buffalo wings are called lovely legs over here.

Ya know, if buffalo had wings, you'd be more careful where you park...

Wtf are lovely legs??

Are they the drumette bits?

I dont know what buffalo wings are either:o

I'm really not keen on wings - it's all bones and skin, bleurgh.

Western NY to the Rescue...
 

So Far LJ is closest to Buffalo Anchor Bar authentic.

Deep fry until crisp (nothing worse than slimy wings...)

Sauce:

Equal portions:
Frank's Red Hot Original
Butter

Dip, shake off excess and Serve with:
Chunky Blue Cheese dressing
Celery

When you are feeling serious cholesterol guilt, substitute chicken tenders grilled

simplest is still the best. I can eat these and enjoy the warmth without any serious side effects.

I do them in a turkey fryer for neighborhood parties here in San Diego, 30 lbs last Memorial Day. Cult status with the neighbors

Heinz 57 Steak Sauce and Honey is a good one. Though I wouldn't classify those as "Buffalo" wings.

Yes they are! ;)

It appears these little bits of chicken have multiple names.

Found this: Buffalo Wild Wings, when visiting oldest son at RIT in Rochester, NY. Great place. (College hangout really) Bar in the back, sauce-o-meter, ranging from "can't taste a thing" to "can't feel my ass in the morning" HOT!!! :shock: :angry:

Not to worry, Tink.

I can feel it. It's right here.

You're right about it being HOT, though... :love:

Used to make my own sauce, don't now.
Nancy's hot, baked then broiled wings, mix in a sauté' pan on med heat.
Serve with blue cheese dressing, veggies, beer, tater skins and Guinness.

FYI, Nancy's if VERY hot, if you normally like hot sauce get med, if you like VERY hot, get hot, etc.

Down SouthEast there is a great chain called Wild Wings. They have over 30 flavors of varying degrees of hotness. Great place to eat if you like cold beer and hot wings.

Breaded wings suck... oh man I be hatin'!

The best I ever had was when I went to Rutgers Univ. in NJ.
A place called "Cluck U Chicken". Ranged from mild to Thermo-nuclear (their terms) and I could eat 30-50 at a sitting.
Even better than at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY which is where the recipe got it's start.

Damn it. I never got the wings and I am starving again.

May this thread burn in hell fire-y hot sauce with a side of....

Damn you Merc.

Fie! Fie!!

Yum. I have some left over wings on the plate now! Spicy Hot.

Hey...screw. you. I am going to the diner, and I am going to order some chicken fried steak, and I'm going to douse it in tabasco......no..not douse...layer it in tabasco.
:D
Why is this town so wingless and Lame?!?

OMG. That sounds so good right now. Flaming wings! Agh!

I'm in hell. They don't do pizza here. And they most certainly don't do hot wings. I can't even get decent Italian food.

I'm going to have to make my own. It's time to throw down the gauntlet and let the four winds blow.

Yep, "B-dubs" is big around here as well. Plus they have NTN Trivia. I used to go play trivia a lot when I was newly single-again. Wings, trivia, and beer. A great combination.

We have several good sources for Wings around here. NickyB's ( I always call them Zippy T's ..and people look at me weird) makes good ones....People's Pizza makes them with crispy breading like regular fried chicken....and they give you the sauce and BC on the side.....served in a paper sack.....different, but quite tasty. Outback's kookaburra wings are good....Hooters ( i dont like them so much) gives you the whole wing all together and breaded which is yucky to me for some reason....

I like my wings Mild because I'm a pussy. I also like them well done. The place near my house is passable and they deliver...and the owner is really cool. The best I have had in recent memory was in Texas, though. HUUUGE wings. all KINDS of steroids in them muffuggers.

too much mess for too little meat.

I bet you say that to all the guys. ;)

Good one.:lolsign:

I feel the same way about crab legs.

Isn't that in the Karma Sutra?

Sounds bad, Perry. Where is this awful place that's "here?"

Ok, I keep meaning to post this for anyone who likes to cook wings (as I do). I got this receipe after searching for the Hooters Daytona Wings receipe and came across this. We made them a week ago and the family has not stopped raving about them. The only change I made was I doubled the sauce and left the Rosemary at half strength because it was so strong a spice. If anyone trys these let me know what you think.

Savory Hot Wings Recipe #95560 Very different than traditional hot wings, not fried. If wrapped in foil and left on the grill the chicken will be so tender it will fall off the bone. (I've also used the marinade to spice up grilled chicken breasts.) My friends and family can't get enough of these, have plently napkins ready! by Donna H 6-8 servings 35 min 5 min prep 2-4 lbs chicken wings, discard tips Marinade 3/4-1 cup louisiana hot sauce, to taste 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 cup margarine, melted 2 tablespoons vinegar 1/4 cup dried Italian seasoning 1/8 cup black pepper 1/8 cup chili powder 1/8 cup paprika 2 teaspoons dried rosemary 6 cloves minced garlic

Combine all ingredients for marinade, reserve some marinade for basting. Put wings and marinade in a resealable bag, refrigerate several hours. Grill over medium coals basting with reserved marinade until done. When wings are slightly browned and carmelized wrap in foil and leave on the grill for another 30 minutes or until ready to serve.

This one looks good as well, but I have not tried them yet.

England!
He's right about the hot wings, although you can buy them in supermarkets. They're just called Spicy Chicken Wings though.

I don't know Newcastle, Perry - I've only been there once - but I completely refute the fact you cannot get pizza in this country. The big (American) pizza chains are represented in every town for a start. If you're after Italian style pizza look no further than Pizza Express - it is a chain but the pizzas are similar in quality to anything you could buy in Rome. Menu here.

And there must be a decent Italian restaurant in a city that size. If you were down here I would recommend at least one for you, same with Leicester and Aylesbury, Bucks. We didn't have the same Italian immigration as the US, but we certainly had enough to leave us with Italian shops, delicatessens and restaurants.

Keep looking!

MMMMMmmm. You guys are killing me here....I am going to make some wings tonight with a combination of the recipe's provided.....you guys suck...especially Merc. I have to have wings. The Chicken Fried Steak doused in hot-sauce did not cut it!! It was yummy...but geez look at those wings.......Mmmmm.......oh...I'm starving...must have wings!

My girlfriend and I finally found acceptable pizza, and Italian in general. It's a little family owned place called Roberto's la Dolce Vita. It's pretty close to Neapolitan pizza, so it's not bad, but not my favorite -- the minestrone was out of this world.

The American pizza chains, Dominos, Pizza Hut, etc. don't count. That is _not_ pizza, and barely qualifies as food. (Sorry, I lived in Upstate NY (more Italians than you can shake a stick at) for 10 years. I became a pizza snob.) The Chip/Kebab places serve a sort-of pizza. It's a little weird though.

Thanks for the Pizza Express suggestion. I'll try it out sometime. In the mean time, I'll take your advice and "Keep Looking."

I'll have to start a pizza thread later. I plan on making some home-made pizza soon. I just have to try to monopolize a kitchen during some weird, off hours.

Perry, if you get a notion to lay a homemade pizza recipe on The Most Recent Recipe Thread incidental to your pizza thread, I'd be grateful.

I'm enthusiastic about most restaurants' and pizza chains' pizza except Shakey's. Don't know what happened to those people, but they have sure fallen since the 1960s. Oxnard's got a couple of good family-owned Italian restaurants that do good cheese and a flavorful crust -- I think they use their dinner roll dough. Toppers Pizza, well, they are bland; Papa John's better; there's a couple of what I call "short chains" -- Rusty's Pizza and American Pizza, which we've liked. The Rusty's nearest our place was a buy-up of a going concern named Three Rockys Pizza, spelled like that. Ameci also tastes like they know what they're doing, and seem to have a particularly nice touch with the tomato sauce; it tastes alive and fresh. Perhaps the very best 'za in Ventura County is from a family-owned place in Camarillo near US 101, Cucina Louisa or something like that, which has been around about three years now.

The important thing that seems to me to differentiate pizzas is the quality of the cheese. Mozzarella snobs may insist on calling cow-milk mozzarella a not-mozzarella or a pizza cheese, but I'm not that spoiled about it. However, good, milky-flavored cheese with some character to it seems to do more than any other single ingredient to make a good 'za. Really, tomato paste is tomato paste, and there doesn't seem much difference between pepperonis in the trade. I think a great many pizza places make up their sausage onsite from ground meat either single or mixed like meatloaf ground meat gotten fresh and mixing in the mixed herbs.

So am I off track on any of this?

I got the wings, and it was glorious! The sauce was made with habanero peppers! Mmmm....thank god for the brewing company. My husband's boss directed us to the proper place for awesome wings. Spicy....

Do any Seattle area Seattle folk know of any good place like these? I have not found one.
