Buffalo wings

Here´s another classic. My favorite bar food :)





Buffalo wings are always a hit for parties or snacking. Both spicy hot and deliciously mild recipes are listed below. Serve with blue cheese dipping sauce, or favorite sauce (try ranch dressing!). These popular chicken wings can be made the traditional way (Anchor Bar) or in a nuevo take on the buffalo wing recipe that started it the craze.

Ingredients:


4 pounds Chicken wings
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt (if desired)
4 cups Vegetable Oil
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
5 tablespoons Louisiana-brand hot sauce or Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar


Directions:
1. Chop off the tip of each chicken wing, and discard it. Chop the wing in half (cutting at the joint) to make 2 pieces. Grind on fresh black pepper and sprinkle with salt if desired.
2. Heat the oil over high heat in a deep skillet, Dutch oven, or deep-fat fryer until it starts to pop and sizzle (around 400degrees F). Add half the chicken wings and cook until they're golden and crisp, stirring or shaking occasionally. When done, remove them to drain on paper towels and cook the remaining wings.
3. Melt the butter or margarine over medium heat in a heavy saucepan, add the hot sauce and the 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Stir well and remove from the flame immediately.

4. Place the chicken on a warm serving platter, pour the sauce on top, and serve
Here is the original recipe created by Ms. Teresa Bellissimo, owner of the Anchor Bar and Restaurant, in Buffalo, NY. It is taken from Totally Hot! The Ultimate Hot Pepper Cookbook.
