Back in 1964 a lady by the name of Teressa Bellissimo [co-owner of the Anchor Bar with her husband Frank in Buffalo, New York] served up some chicken wings as a late night
snack on a Friday night to her son and some of his friends when they showed up unexpectantly from college. Teressa decided to deep fry some chicken wings and tossed them in
cayenne hot sauce. Those wings became an instant hit in Buffalo and eventually spread around the country as Buffalo-Style Chicken Wings.
Today, for the most part, cayenne pepper hot sauce and melted butter or margarine are the basic ingredienta of the sauce. But Buffalo wing sauce can be made with a variable
amount of heat or spiciness from mild to medium to hot. In most cases, the chicken wings are deep-fried, then drained and placed in a covered bowl to be shaken until the
wings are evenly coated with the sauce. Here is one verison of Buffalo-Style Chicken Wings
Ingredients: 2 1/2 pound (12-15) chicken wings 1/4 cup Durkee red hot sauce 1 stick (1/2 cup) melted butter or margarine Celery sticks Blue cheese dip
Directions:
1. Split wings at joint and discard tips. Arrange on a rack in a roasting pan. Cover wing pieces with sauce on both sides.
2. Bake at 425 degrees for 1 hour, turning halfway through cooking time (Wings can be deep fried at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes and then dipped into the hot sauce
until coated completely).
3. Serve with celery and blue cheese dip.
And here is a Buffalo Wings Fiery Style for you to try at your next party
24 chicken wings (about 4 pounds) Makes 6 to 8 servings. 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder Vegetable oil 2/3 cup hot sauce

Sauces & Wing Goo
Your own wings are decent, your local bar ain't so bad either, but
sometimes the craving for a different chicken wing flavor comes into
play..Too many choices, so little time...I bet you ask yourself when
you go out in search of hot wings:
What
sauce should I try tonight?
-Jim T., TN
Sounds like you are stepping out of your comfort
zone. Congratulations.....Stay away from anything that has the
words Mango and Saffron in the title....Those are sure signals
your a weirdo
Am I still a man for eating bleu cheese
with my wings?
-Danny M., TN
Yes, (but barely), Ranch, Thousand Island and
anything with "Balsamic" in the description is sure
to let your server know you are a wuss...
What is proper wing dipping etiquette?
-Robbie M., TN
It's a free for all and everyone should have
their own dipping bucket. (if you have to ask then we need to
educate you so you won't get beat up again)...
Should I drink a stout or an IPA?
-Guido S., PI
"Good Question! Finally, from the country
code you gave us, you should be choosing lambanog! But the fact
you actually know there are different
kinds of beer by style, we don't need to hold your hand but
I can offer this advice: If the wings you order have a
high sugar content, order a darker beer with a more hoppy flavor. This
compliments the sweet very nicely
HOT BUFFALO WINGS
2 1/2 lbs. chicken wings
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Vegetable oil
1/4 c. hot sauce, add more if desired
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. butter
1 tbsp. cider vinegar
Cut chicken wings in half at joint. Cut off tips of wings and discard. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 2 inches of oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees. Add chicken and fry 10 minutes, frying about 1 dozen at a time. Drain on paper towels. Arrange fried chicken wings in a 13x9x2 inch dish.
Combine hot sauce and remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until butter melts. Pour over fried chicken wings. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes or until hot. Yield 3 dozen.
The Scoville scale measures the hotness of a pepper. It rates around 1,000,000 heat units. To put that in perspective: It is hot enough to actually PEEL the skin from around your mouth, blister your tongue and make you cry for your mother...Talk about Wing Sting
Pepper spray weapons hit 5,300,000 units
This is one of the many awesome reasons we watch law enforcement reality shows...
Hot Sauce Gauge
In Scoville's original testing procedure, a concoction of pepper extract is thinned in sugar syrup until the "heat" (burn) can’t be detected by a panel of (usually five) very dedicated, brave and very bored souls; the quantity of dilution gives its measure on the Scoville scale.
