Buffalo Wings
Ingredients -
2 cups canola oil
2 pounds chicken wings (about 12 wings)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 -3 Tablespoons butter, melted
4 Tablespoons bottled hot pepper sauce such as
Crystal or Durkee's Franks Original Red
Hot Cayenne Pepper Sauce
2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
375 degrees F. and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. While the oil is heating, chop off the tips of each
chicken wing and throw them away. Then cut each wing
in half at the joint. The result will be a "drummette" and a
"double-bone"
*** Food safety note: when cutting raw chicken it is
best to use a cutting board reserved just for cutting
raw chicken. Wash thoroughly when finished. Do not
let raw chicken juices come in contact with other food.
Be sure to wash hands to avoid cross-contamination!***
3. Season them with salt and pepper.
4. Place the wings in the fryer until they are golden. If
frying in a skillet be sure to move them around while they
are frying so not to stick to the pan.
Do not try to fry them all at once. Do them in
batches.
They should take about 6 to 8 minutes for each batch
to fry.
5. Remove them to a plate covered with a couple of
layers of paper towels to drain the oil.
Then place them in a mixing bowl.
6. In a small saucepan, heat the butter over medium
heat. Add the hot sauce and vinegar.
The amount of hot sauce depends on how hot you want the
wings and the heat of the sauce. Always start with less and
add more if it isn't hot enough. A 2:1 ration of hot sauce to
butter is HOT, a 3:1 ratio is EXTREME - let your taste
be the judge.
7. Add the sauce to the wings in the bowl and toss
together with kitchen tongs. Remove the wings from the
bowl with the tongs and place them on a baking pan, be
sure not to crowd the wings or they will steam rather than
bake. Bake each side for about 8 minutes - until the
chicken is no longer pink - do not over bake or they will
not be tender.
8. Remove from the oven and serve with Blue Cheese
Dip or Buffalo Sauce.
Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
Salt & pepper, to taste
Directions
In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients together.
Gently stir together until well mixed or use a
blender/food processor on blend or pulse until it is
smooth. You may want to serve your wings with cold
blue cheese dip, if so make it ahead of time and chill.
