You might enjoy this recipe, and it does look good - BUT- it is NOT Buffalo Wings. It may be wings, but to be Buffalo Wings, you must use Frank's Hot Sauce and always served with Bleu Cheese Dressing, NEVER Ranch dressing. The dressing is for dipping the wings.

Great recipe, but to the guy that made the comment about which "hot sauce" to use is wrong. Every time I'm in Buffalo, NY I go to the Anchor Room where Buffalo Wings were invented. The truth about the sauce is that it was an emergency food. A bunch of ships were stranded there due to a storm and they ran out of other food, so they took the scraps (wings) and fried them, made a spicy sauce for them and started serving them to hungry ship workers. The honest-to-God truth is that is just has to be spicy and good, but not a bar-b-q flavor. Call the Anchor Room to verify.

You are incorrect Dennis. Franks is a good tasting, but severely lacking, overpriced bottle. The main takeaway is the corn syrup. Pure poison to cooks.

These are awesome Buffalo Wings! I used some Deathwish Cayenne Pepper Sauce and it came out excellent (I was told that any Cayenne pepper based hot sauce is what makes it buffalo wings, not just Franks). We also used ranch as a sauce but everyone knows the Dressing is more to cut the heat than for flavor, it just depends on taste. Thanks for a GREAT recipe and keep up the good work.

The blue cheese is actually for dipping the celery in. And I thought Tabasco sauce was used -- that's what it tastes like whenever I have authentic wings.

This recipe looks great! Frank's is not what makes wings "Buffalo" it is an easy way to make buffalo wings. If I went to a good, authentic wing house, I'd be very disappointed if they served me Frank's.

Ditto that Emily! I'll be serving these for Superbowl too, even if our Cowboys didn't make it... GO SAINTS and good luck!

Sounds like just a bunch of advertisements for Franks...

Looks like this is going to be what I serve at the Super Bowl coming up! Good thing all the "wing" cops showed up to serve their warrants. Good grief. Recipe sounds delish and I am excited to try it! Well said Emily

I just made this sauce!!! It's so yummy I love buffalo chix wings and this it. Awesome!!!

I am 75 years old and frequented Frank & Theresa's Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY over 50 years ago when they first introduced the original Buffalo Chicken wings. They used butter and hot sauce. You can add whatever you want or change it however you want, but the original "Buffalo Chicken Wings" sauce was butter and hot sauce.

Clifford, you are close, but you forgot the vinegar -- I live in Buffalo. Franks is a must!

FRANKS!!!

Just made you sauce and it tastes great. But, I was wondering when you said a full bottle of hot sauce did you mean the 12 oz. or 6 oz. I used 6 oz. We all add and subtract to our own whims anyway of course, but just wondering if I should have used more or less. Btw, I used 4 dried hatch chili's... Very tasty.

I just made some wings and they were awesome! I use three hot sauces (Tabasco, Louisiana hot sauce, and tapatios), red chili powder, and garlic powder. I use a stick of butter and sauté everything with fresh chopped onions. Then I strain it and put the wings in to coat. Everyone says my recipe is the best. I season my wings with pepper, sweet paprika, seasoned salt and garlic powder and olive oil. I bake my wings for about 50 minutes at 400°F.

Don't think I've ever hot sauce that I didn't like, but for pure heat it has to be tabasco and for taste it has to be Texas Pete. I use Texas Pete on almost everything. Just mix 12 oz. bottle with a stick of melted butter for great Buffalo Wing Sauce.

Touche' Dennis. Go with a splash of Worcestershire sauce with the Texas Pete & Butter and you'll have what a lot of restaurants use. Although the Buffalo wing originated in Buffalo NY, it is *very* likely that Franks was used in their making. I understand it to be a preferred brand in the northern states. There's no golden rule for this recipe, but I believe what most people would call a Buffalo Wing is rather, a hot wing instead. We just like giving credit to out northern friends for one of the most popular foods in the country that we like to call Buffalo Wings. I like mine with Ranch btw.

I agree with Dennis, Texas Pete has got to be the best hot sauce, but when my fiance makes wings, he makes them with Louisiana Hot Sauce, Worcestershire, and butter. It's some of the best hot sauce I've had yet.

Crystal is the best for the sauce.

Whatever became of all those chickens wandering about without their wings...
Sure, part of them was gorged by brutes after being smothered in peppery ketchup, but was it all worth it - worth the birth pangs, the first wild-eyed vision of a sunrise, the energetic feeling of being a life, robust and strong, given to desires both primeval and social, a being of life and fecundity...
And then to be cast upon crutches, hobbled and made lame by the transient lust of an inbred slack-jawed bumpkin who imagined their own immature squirt of liquied pepper into a mayonnaise would deliver immortality?
For shame, wingnuts; your fate should be as benign as to have only your forelimbs torn asunder then discarded as unfit morsels by a regime of jaded imperialist stooges... Cry for yourselves, for no one else shall.

thank u mr.diaz! i wanted 2 surprise my mum on her birthday by doing smthin special..n ur chicken wing sauce did the trick. this was my first culnary experiment n it still turned out 2 b just gr8!!! thanxxxxxxxxx!!!!

I'm from buffalo too and the other guy is right. Franks is a must but I still love the recipe. I'm trying it now as we speak.

I made this sauce but tripled the onion Garlic Lemon and Honey amounts. I then marinated the wings in the sauce for 24 hours. Then par cooked them in the sauce and finished them on the grill. With six people four dozen disappeared in about five minutes. And oh ya I also used Franks but had a bottle of Tabasco for those who wanted hotter.

I like your thinking, put that Tabasco (other) out and let 'em decide. Culinary is to each his/her/it own.
