Did you ever want to know how to make the Original Buffalo Chicken Wings made famous by the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY? Here's your chance! I did a little research and you can read about the history of chicken wings here.
It's a great appetizer for Super Bowl parties or any kind of gathering where you know you'll have hungry people. I've got other less spicy versions of the recipe so kids will like them too.
You can even make these delicious
chicken wings a day ahead of time and reheat them just before serving. Try this recipe. You'll be happy you did.
What you'll need for the original Buffalo Chicken Wings recipe:
- 4 to 5 pounds chicken wings
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Salt (if desired)
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 4 Tablespoon butter or margarine
(1/2 stick)
- 5 Tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce
- 1 Tbspoon white wine vinegar
- Blue cheese dressing or dip- celery sticks (cut up for dipping)
What to do for this simple appetizer:
First, chop off the tip of each chicken wing, and discard it. Chop the wing in half (cutting at the joint) to make 2 pieces. Next, grind and sprinkle on fresh black pepper (and salt if desired).
Heat the oil over high heat in a deep skillet or deep-fat fryer until it starts to pop and sizzle (usually around 400 degrees F). Then, add half the chicken wings and cook until they're golden crisp, stirring or shaking occasionally. When the wings are done, remove them to drain on some paper towels while cooking the remaining wings.
Last thing to do is, melt the butter or margarine over medium heat in a heavy saucepan, and add the hot sauce and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Stir well and remove from the flame immediately.
All that's required now is to place the original Buffalo chicken wings on a warm serving platter, pour your favorite hot sauce on top, and serve. (note: you can make the wings as spicy as you like or not spicy at all. Just pick an appropriate hot sauce to match the heat you are looking for.)
This recipe makes about 8 to 10 servings and is traditionally served with bleu cheese dip and celery sticks.
Enjoy! And if you are looking for some other variations, try from the list below.
