Classic Hot Wings Recipes

HOT WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor or indoor grill to a high heat. Lightly grease the grill.
• Season wings with garlic powder and ground black pepper. Cook wings on the preheated grill until they are very crispy. Turn the wings frequently as they will burn easily.
• While the wings are grilling, in a large bowl, combine both hot sauces with garlic powder, Parmesan cheese and melted butter.
• When the wings are finished cooking, place them in the large bowl of hot sauce mixture and stir until they are coated.

BAKED BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and lightly grease with cooking spray. Place the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt into a resealable plastic bag, and shake to mix. Add the chicken wings, seal, and toss until well coated with the flour mixture. Place the wings onto the prepared baking sheet, and place into the refrigerator. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk together the melted butter and hot sauce in a small bowl. Dip the wings into the butter mixture, and place back on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and crispy on the outside, about 45 minutes. Turn the wings over halfway during cooking so they cook evenly.

• Mix the Louisiana hot sauce, butter, vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt in a medium saucepan.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sauce is well mixed. Set aside.
• Pour oil a few inches deep in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan and heat to 375 F. Add the wings in batches and fry for about 15 minutes until crispy and golden.
• Drain the wings on paper towels. Repeat with remaining wings.
• Preheat the oven to 300 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• When all the wings are cooked, place them into a large bowl and pour the sauce over the hot wings. Cover the bowl with a lid, and shake it to completely coat the wings. You can also toss the wings and sauce with a spoon or spatula.
• Slide the wings onto the lined baking sheet and bake for 2 to 3 minutes to make them extra crispy and allow the sauce to adhere.
• Serve with blue cheese dressing on the side and enjoy.

CLASSIC HOT WINGS BY PIONEER WOMAN/ MAKE-AHEAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat 3 inches of canola oil in a heavy pot to 375 degrees F.
• Add half the chicken wing parts to the oil and fry them until they're golden brown and fully cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the other half of the wing parts.
• In a saucepan, heat the cayenne sauce and butter over medium-low heat. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce. Let it bubble up, and then turn off the heat.
• Place the wings in an ovenproof dish and pour the hot sauce over the top. Toss to coat, and then bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Serve with blue cheese dip, celery sticks.

CLASSIC BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• To make the wings: Place the wings in a glass or other non-reactive bowl and add 1 cup of the hot sauce and Worcestershire. Mix thoroughly, being sure all the wings are coated, cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
• Pour the oil for frying in a large pot to a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F.
• Place the flour in a separate mixing bowl and season with kosher salt and cayenne pepper to taste. In a separate bowl, prepare an egg wash by whisking together the eggs and milk until well blended. Working with all 3 bowls (wings, flour mixture and egg wash): first dredge each wing in the flour mixture, then dip the wing in the egg wash; and finally dredge the wing completely in the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Deep-fry the wings for 12 to 15 minutes or until the batter achieves a crisp, uniform texture. When cooked through, set aside to drain on paper towels or the nonprinted side of a paper grocery bag.
• To make the dressing: in a mixing bowl and using a wire whisk, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, parsley, shallots, and garlic, blending until smooth. Gently stir in the crumbled cheese until completely mixed in.
• To serve, place the fried wings in a large bowl and drench with the remaining 1 cup hot sauce (or less, to taste). Serve with the blue cheese dipping sauce and celery sticks on the side -- and plenty of napkins!

AUTHENTIC BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Remove the tips from the wings and reserve for making chicken stock .
• Cut the joint between the drumette and the flat portion of the wings. Pat the wings dry with paper towels-this will ensure they fry up crispy, and there will be less spatter from water hitting the hot oil.
• Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pan to 375 F.
• Meanwhile, in a small separate saucepan, combine the hot sauce, butter, and vinegar over low heat until the butter melts.
• Taste the sauce to see if it's to your liking. If you'd like to reduce the heat of the sauce, feel free to add more butter, a little water, or some brown sugar. To increase the heat, add more hot sauce. Add salt if needed.
• Fry the wings in 2 to 3 batches for 12 to 15 minutes per batch, or until crispy and cooked through. Give the oil time to reheat before frying the next batch to ensure all of the wings are crispy.
• Toss the wings in a bowl with the warm sauce.
• Serve with blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, or garlic Parmesan dip. Enjoy.
