Fried Buffalo Wings

For anyone who knows me, you know that I'm crazy about Buffalo Wings. I don't know if I should go as far as saying that I am a Buffalo Wing Connoisseur but I like to think that I know a good Buffalo Wing when I see it. Buffalo Wings are without a doubt my favorite food.

Here is my attempt at making perfect and authentic Fried Buffalo Wings.

Here is a break down of the recipe. Very important to note that the Hot Sauce and Butter quantities can be tweaked to meet your tastes. I found this mixture very close to ideal for me but everyone has different tastes so feel free to experiment!

Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Cook Time: 10 Minutes

12 Full Chicken Wings (if you prefer easier prep, you can buy them already separated)

40 oz Vegetable Oil (or enough for your Deep Fryer)

1/3 cup Frank's Hot Sauce (accept no substitutions here)

8 tbsp Butter (Unsalted)

Optional:

Blue Cheese

Celery

1. Separate the chicken wings and discard the ends of the wing. Rinse the chicken wings under water to clean them. Make sure to pat the wings dry after this step to remove excess water and prevent the oil from splashing up out of the deep fryer.

2. Set your Deep Fryer to 375F and make sure that your oil is fully heated before proceeding. Depending on the size of your deep fryer, cook as many wings as you can without excessively overlapping them. At this temperature, the wings should only need to cook about 10 minutes - they will turn golden brown and crisp.

3. While the wings are cooking, melt your butter and mix with your hot sauce with the measurements above. Worth noting again that you should feel free to add more butter for milder wings or more hot sauce for hotter wings based on your taste preferences.

4. Remove the cooked wings and place on a plate layered with a few paper towels to remove some of the extra grease.

5. After just a few moments on the plate, you can place the wings in a bowl and pour the Buffalo sauce on top. Mix the wings in the bowl to fully coat all of the wings with the sauce.

6. Grab a beer, dig in to your wings, and enjoy the game!

And that is all for tonight. Good night ladies and gentlemen.
