Chicken Wing Question

[charlotte49er]

OK, new home, Super Bowl party, friends, impress. I thought I would impress my friends with my cooking skills, wink, wink, nod, nod!

Usually I go out and buy wings from wherever. This year, again, new home, Super Bowl party, friends, impress, so I bought a load of wings.

Only one problem. I NEVER cooked a wing in my life! I figured that all you did was marinade them over night in Buffalo Hot Sauce and throw them in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes or so.

Looking on line, that's not the way to go. One recipe I saw, said to cook them first for 15 minutes @ 350, then coat them on each side and cook for about 5 minutes more. Then coat them again, when they come out.

Does that sound right?

Grill em

^^what he said

Marinate them overnight, throw them on the grill and continue to brush them with sauce. Can't beat it. Trust me.

We fry ours, let them drain on a cake rack, then shake them up in frank's hot sauce. I do add butter to the hot sauce when I heat it up. It helps it stick to the wing. We just use flour, salt, pepper, and a little crushed red pepper to the dry batter.

If you want a dip, here's an easy recipe that's delish and cooked in a crock pot.

1 lb browned hamburger

1 lb velveeta

1 can diced tomatos and chiles. (RoTel)

*A lady in the grocery store also told me try sausage instead of the hamburger, and add sour cream. You can microwave it instead of the crock pot, but I've never done it.

I always double the recipe and serve it with tortilla chips.

we coat them with emeril's bayou blast and some pepper and a little salt. (best measurement units I could give you) Then either deep fry them or put them in the oven and then put them in a container with texas pete wign sauce. pretty spicy, deep fried they are great and simple/quick to make

[cookinbrak]

Do what Bunny says. Deep fry them, let them drain a bit, and coat them with hot sauce. The heat from the wing will cause the hot sauce to dry up, so they aren't slimy.

Edit- I don't flour the wings before frying, just drop them in grease.

My recipe is how we did it when we had our restaurant. Simple and delicious. Much better than naked wings, imo.

Chris just corrected me on the batter. He doesn't add crushed red pepper to his, but I do. He's cooked more wings than I can even dream of, so listen to him instead of me.

I boil my wings in a mix of vinegar and water. When they are not quite done i pull them out, put them in a large oven pan, coat them with franks and cook til done. The boiling makes them extremely tinder. I don't like my hot wings breaded or crispy. I can pull the meat off the bone with just one bite.

Frank's red hot is the poo for hot wings

[SCP]

I toss mine in olive oil and garlic salt. Then I grill them on low heat for about 30 -45 minutes or until crispy. The olive oil and slow cook over low heat creates an almost deep fried effect. Then I toss them in a mixture of Franks red hot, butter, and minced garlic that I simmer for a few minutes. Delish.

I have 2 bottles of Frank's. Teeter had them on a "2 for" sale last week.

I do have a small deep fryer. I could deep fry them toss them in sauce and keep them warm in the oven.

[sunbunny]

Heat the franks and the butter together before tossing them!!! Makes a world of difference. I think the recipe is on the franks bottle. We got it from the franks rep at a convention.

I agree with bunny too. Make sure those wings are dry before frying them. I wouldn't want you to have spattered grease burns all over yourself.
