Spicy Chicken Wing Recipe

While there are a variety of different recipes for spicy chicken wings or buffalo wings out there today that appeal to all different taste preferences, here is a good and simple recipe for you to try.

First buy the chicken wings at your local grocery store, if you are buying the frozen wings in a bag allow them to thaw out in the refrigerator or by running them under warm water. If you are buying fresh wings you will need to cut the wing at the joint between the drummie and the wing, also cut off and discard the tail section.

Next thing to do is prepare the sauce. Depending on the amount of wings you are making will determine how much sauce you need to make. The following will cover around 3-4 pounds of wings.

1- 12 oz bottle of your favorite hot sauce and 1 stick of butter or margarine, melt the butter in a sauce pan and add the hot sauce while the butter is melting. You will need to use a whisk and stir it quite frequently to avoid burning the butter. Once the butter and the hot sauce are combined remove from heat and add ½ cup of yellow mustard (squeezable kind). The mustard will help tame down some of the hot sauce, for less spicy wings you can add more mustard to suit your taste. Place the mixture over medium heat and stir until the mustard is all mixed in and then remove from heat.

Put the mixture into a large seal able container, this will be used later to combine the wings and the sauce/

Preheat your deep fryer to 425 or 450 degrees, while this is heating wash and dry the wings. Make sure to get them as dry as possible, to much moisture will cause a reaction with the oil and may cause a boil over which not only makes a huge mess, but can be extremely dangerous.

Once the oil is at the proper temperature place the wings in the fryer and allow them to cook until they float.

Remove the wings from the fryer and place them on paper towels to remove any excess grease.

Now place the cooked wings in the seal able container containing the sauce, put the lid on and shake until the wings are completely coated.

Serve the wings with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing for some extra flavor, and enjoy.
