THE Original Buffalo Wing Recipe

 

Chicken Wings
20 - 25 Chicken wings
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Hot Sauce.

 
  • Disjoint the chicken wings and discard the tips.
    Rinse and pat dry. The wings must be completely
    dry to fry properly since there is no batter or breading.
  • Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or a large deep pan
    to 365 degrees.
  • Add the chicken wings a few at a time to the hot oil.
    Do not allow the oil to cool as the chicken is added.
    Deep-fry for 6-10 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
    Drain well by shaking in the fryer basket or a strainer.
  • Blend the butter with 1/2 bottle of hot sauce for medium-hot wings
  • Combine the wings and hot sauce in large container.
  • Let stand, covered (not too long, please). and enjoy.


Serve with Blue Cheese Dressing and Celery Sticks.

QB Notes: The type of sauce is important
and will also determine spiciness.
QB TIP: Don't let stand too long.
Wings should not cool down!

Wings should be warmer than just luke-warm.
For peak flavor and tenderness
eat wings within the first ten minutes
that they have been cooked.


Blue Cheese Dressing


2 cups mayonnaise
3 Tablespoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 oz blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 - 1/2 cup cold water.

 
  • Combine the mayonnaise, dry mustard,
    pepper and salt in a large bowl and beat until WELL BLENDED.
    Mix in the Blue Cheese.
  • Add enough cold water gradually to make the dressing
    the desired consistency (not too soupy), whisking constantly.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Makes about 3 1/2 cups.


QB TIP: Dressing should be creamy smooth and not lumpy, but not runny either.
