Buffalo Wings....what is the best way to make them?

[TripletDaddy]

Thankfully, my wife has long since learned to defer to my judgment in the eating out sphere. So I can guide her until she is ultimately happy - and that's the goal if you want to eat out more frequently.

Not THAT way, sicko!


Oh dear. Bad choice of words.

Here is a link to a thread on a BBQ forum I frequent. It is my current favorite way to do wings. The orange marmalade is great, but you can also try different preserves (Blackberry, Blueberry, etc.) for variety.

MSCoug's recipe for Winger's wings:

- Heat Canola Oil to 375 degrees
- Use thawed wing pieces
- Dunk the wings into Frank's original red-hot sauce, then coat in a combination of 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1/2 tbsp Lawry's season salt, 1 tsp garlic powder
- Fry for 7 minutes (internal wing temperature needs to be above 160 degrees)
- Coat in a mixture of 1/2 cup Frank's, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter
- Serve with Blue Cheese or Ranch

I used this recipe today, they were very good. Here is a pic:

I'm thinking about buying some peanut oil. How long do you think it lasts and how is the best way to store it?

Looks great, Junkie. Do you have a fryer or do you just fry them in a pan?

I used to know - check websites on turkey frying. It is the turkey frying oil of choice.

I have a cheap $20 fryer from Walmart.

I think you could really have some fun with wings, but messing around with frying mess and storing oil seem like a lot of work to me.

When I was young my Mom used to make some terrific fried scones and funnel cakes. I'd like to make them for my kids but never have because of the mess it makes to fry in a stove-top skillet. That and I never know what to do with the oil when I'm done with it.

I know there's a bit of negativity towards baking your wings, but I'm one to tell you that baked wings work great for me. I spread the wings out on a sheet pan, sprinkle with s&p and put them in the oven at approx 425 for around an hour. I pretty much let them stay in there until they're very crispy, all the fat has rendered out, etc. Turn a couple times in between.

There's nothing worse than a chicken wing with soft chicky fat leftover on it. It all needs to be rendered. I think they're just as crispy and delish as frying, and I don't have to store a fryer and its fat in the house - I don't know where I'd put it right now.

As for the sauce, I'm a purist with Franks and butter, except I usually add some garlic powder to it too, and my ratio is about 2:1, Franks to butter.

One of these times, I'm going to try a new recipe, but it's hard when I enjoy the golden standard so much.

I know boneless suck, but I have some chicken breast strips on hand and I was in charge of dinner. Took the breasts rubbed them down in butter, powdered them in corn starch and cooked them on 400 convection for an hour. Made the Franks sauce and doused them. Even the kids loved them. So good.

Thanks to all.

I read through the entire 13 pages of that thread, and I'm now way over excited to give these wings a try.



My brother recently started making his own bbq sauces from scratch and smoking a lot of meat, and it prompted me to think about finding a new food "hobby" to share as well. I settled on wings, and I almost bought a fryer, but I decided I just couldn't handle the fat from the fried wings on a regular basis. So I'm excited to try some grilled wings.

Today duriing lunch I went out and bought a bunch of seasonings, sauces, and ingredients to try. I also refilled my back-up propane tank. I probably won't get cookin' until Saturday, but I'll post with my results when I do.

I'm interested to hear how you like them. My family loves them. The repeated dipping of the wings in the sauce during the cooking process definitely leaves a residue on your grill from the drippings, but I just make sure the fire is hot after taking them off and cook it away.

Looking forward to your report.
