Wow, this recipe was delicious!!! People are really insane about thier wings huh....

Awesome recipe.. I added an orange bell pepper to change the color a bit but it tastes great. Ty this is a recipe im going to use ALOT in the future.

Hi friends. I am from Texas and always used franks but am going to try this one out because it does sound good and why do we need the same thing all the time. However I live in Dubai now and can only get this junk called "Excellence Hot Sauce". I always fry the wings and then fip them in the sauce to coat well. Always use Blue Cheese dressing fortified with a little butter milk. Try that and I think you may agree. But the best thing reading all of your suggestions is the seriousness that you take your wings. I laughed loudly. It's like if you want come to my house to prove your wings can kick his or her wings I would glady like to be on the judging commitee.I'll even come to your home. Gotta love them wings.

Ron you got the right idea, I'm up for trying anybody's wings. I also swear by Franks Red - its my favorite! I also love Louisiana, crystal, and great value. I've been making wings for 5 years and I have perfected it. It all depends on what you put in and how much of you use. I use 4 different kinds of sauce and I add about the same seasoning in each one. But the butter is the key. I use a thick and creamy butter, it helps the sauce adhere to the wing. Sometimes I use barbecue sauce, it helps even more! Another thing you should never do is marinade a wing - its a waste of sauce, a wing is meant to be sloppy, you also never bake, smoke your wings, FRYING is the best way, 400°F until extra crispy. They might look burnt but the wing will soak up the sauce the longer you leave it the more tender it will be! I love wings so much I eat mine once or even twice a week, that's how much I love them. My sauce is so good people say mine are better than Buffalo wild wings, hotters, and pizza huts, that they tell me they are the best period. I also make BBQ, honey mustard, Mesquite, my home made blazzin sauce, and Cajun.

Everyone is a critic. They are called "Hot Wings" not buffalo wings. Make and enjoy the recipe with whatever ingredients you wish and dip your creation in any dressing you like. Get over it...

I make a sauce with habanero peppers. This is the best. It's really good.

Born and raised in Buffalo, this is SO not wing sauce. Oh and we don't call them "Buffalo Wings" in Buffalo,just wings.We would never serve wings with ranch dressing, Ugh! Wing sauce is made with Frank's Hot Sauce, butter and a little vinegar. That's all. Real wings are always deep fried. Serve with carrot and celery sticks and ONLY Blue cheese dressing. Ken in Tenn., Buffalo Wild Wings is only OK. Your neighborhood pizza shops have the best wings. Got to go to Bob and John's on Hertel Ave. or LaNova's.

Born and raised in buffalo.. Susan you are on the money .. If you ever ate wings in buffalo at places like La Nove, Anchor bar, Duffs or any other corner bar, wings are always deep fried.. never ever baked.. served with blue cheese NOT ranch dressing for dipping.. And for the sauce franks is a must with butter and vinegar.. The sauce is prepared first than added after the deep fry process, usually shaken in. We never refer to them as "buffalo wings" simply just "wings".. Hope this helps

Susan Myers from New York is absolutely correct. The best wings in Buffalo can be found at LaNova's. Now that's wings! Although they say Duff's are also pretty good.

Enjoy your wings!

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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 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!!!

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