Buffalo Wings trivia

I'd heard part of the story about the hot sauce before. I do kinda like the idea of 5 lbs of wings being the suggested portions for two people.

Thanks for the story. I've often wondered who created buffalo wings. It took a real creative and marketing genius to figure out a way to sell a food product consisting of skin/fat/gristle/bones/and very little real meat!

Fry the wing segments until crispy, remove and pat off the fat, then pour on butter or margarine and Frank's Louisiana Hot Sauce,which have been heated together in a ratio of about 1 butter, 2 hot sauce, to your taste. Stir until the wings are coated with the butter/hot sauce mixure and serve. Usually a blue cheese dressing/dip and celery sticks are served as an accompaniment, but we don't bother with them.

Only Frank's (formerly Durkee's) is the authentic hot sauce to use, not available here, though I've heard Trappey's is very close, and I've seen it for sale at one of the gourmet delis in San Miguel. We bought a bottle of something called a sauce for wings at Gigante and gave it to our maid after one taste.

Last time we were in the States we brought back a half dozen bottles of Franks. Crazy gringas, bringing hot sauce into Mexico.

I do something similar, but I sprinkle the raw wing parts (minus the tips) with seasoning salt before frying, then drain well on kitchen towels. In a small fondue pot over a candle I then melt one stick of butter and add 4 !!!! squirts of hot sauce, stirring well. The wings we get usually come 12 to a package, so we have 24 pieces to dip and drip. Serves Hubby and me just about right. We often eat the wings at room temperature. They are perfect for entertaining or picnicing.
