Buffalo Wings & Barbecue Wings Recipes


Special to AOL from our intern Jean Morrow


Buffalo Wings


Deep fried chicken wings

1 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce

1/3 cup melted butter


To deep fry the wings, remove the tips and cut each wing in half at the joint. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Cook the wings in the oil until they are golden brown, which will take about 8 minutes. Make sure to drain them well.


Mix Frank's Red Hot with the melted butter. Pour the mixture into a big bowl with the chicken wings, and let the sauce soak in for a few minutes. The wings are often served in restaurants nearly submerged in sauce, so don't be shy!

If you like your wings on the spicy side (and I do), then add a little less butter. If you like your wing barbecue style, you can order my favorite LaNova Barbecue Sauce, or use Steven Raichlen's Buffa-Que Wings recipe to make your own.

(News flash - some like 'em waaaaayyyy hotter!)

Every once in awhile we'd get some whiner in there saying they were not hot enough.
Well, a few dashes of tobasco, some cayenne and white pepper, liquid from the jalepeno jar and just a tiny bit of squeezed horesradish quieted them and boosted the beer sales.

There was a barbeque place on the East side called Kings Wings And Things. "Try our famous Mambo sauce" I remember seeing it in the early '60's. Once again the best food started in the black neighborhood and others popularized and took credit for it.

Always made them with Franks Red Hot sauce and melted butter mixed in a bowl and then put in the fried chicken wings right into the mixture...... still eat them and they are the best. No restaurant can match the original recipe!!! Sharon from Long Island, NY

Being born and raised in Buffalo, as well has having a talent and passion for "dabbling" in the culinary arts field, the one thing missing in most "almost there but not quiet hot enough" chicken wing recipes is the addition of spices. By adding a little garlic powder, white pepper or crushed red pepper (crushed almost to a powder) according to taste. It helps the hot sauce cling to the tongue and cause that "burning" feeling in the mouth that many people love. It awakens the taste buds in the mouth and sends the palette to a place as close to heaven as one can gets while eating. Also, a little help for those who try to tackle hot but can't handle it.. drinking pop only adds to the heat. Try drinking milk or adding more blue cheese. The milk helps to coat the tongue keeping the "spice" for sticking to the taste bud's.

THEN MY SAUCE WHICH I MAKE BY USING A LARGE BOTTLE OF HOT SAUCE, JALAPENO JUICE, ONION POWDER, GARLIC POWDER, BUTTER AND MY SECRET, HALF CUP OF RANCH DRESSING. POUR THIS OVER WINGS IN A SAUCE PAN AND COOK ON LOW FOR 20 MINUTES. THIS FINISHES THE COOKING PROCESS AND INFUSES THE SAUCE INTO THE WIINGS. SERVE SATURATED WITH SAUCE,SLICED CARROTS AND CELERY. I CALL IT MY WHITE BUFFALO SAUCE. EVERYONE LOVES IT.
