THE GREATEST BUFFALO CHICKEN
WING SAUCE
 
This recipe is one of a kind. Ever since I ventured into making my own kind of chicken wing sauce, my wife, my friends and my family won't stop coming over to have some of this delicious finger-licking good special sauce. And here's how you make it.

2 cups dry cayenne peppers (50 grams)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 chopped garlic
1/3 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 bottle Louisiana Hot Sauce
1/2 of the juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup ketchup

Start by roasting the cayenne peppers on a pan over a medium high flame. Toss them around inside the pan for a couple of minutes and make sure you don't let these get burned. Add enough water to cover the peppers and bring water to a boil. Let them cook for ten minutes. Drain water and place them in blender. Add 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of vinegar and salt. Blend on high and allow to percolate.

Place butter stick on a pan over a medium flame so that it melts. Add onion, garlic, tomato and the whole bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce.

Let all cook for about five minutes, stirring occasionally. Immediately pour into blender and add the percolated cayenne pepper sauce. Blend on high for two minutes. Add the lemon juice, honey and ketchup, and blend again for a few seconds. Pour back into the pan where you melted the butter, and let it simmer for a good 20 minutes.

What I usually do, is fry the chicken wings until they’re golden brown and very crispy and then I dip each one into the sauce. My wife and I love these with celery sticks and Ranch dressing.

The Greatest Buffalo Chicken Wing Sauce

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!

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...

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.

 Remel (Florida) says:
This is the best wing sauce recipe I ever made even though its the only sauce I ever made. I put about a cup of cayenne pepper instead of two and man was it hot. I felt like I was eating man vs food chicken wings. Awesome, especially for challenges.

Durkees Franks hot sauce is the original base hot sauce that was used in the original recipe at nchors bar in Buffalo NY in the 60s. They did invent the "buffalo wing".

 Ed Ritchy (Ohio) says:
Deep fry disjointed wings at 350 for about 8 minuets until they are crispy. Scoop out the wings while the wings and put them in glass bowl and pour Texas Pete mild or hot or mix them together and pour it over the hot wings. After they cool down freeze them and let them age three days before you microwave them. You can add sweet mealted butter to the wings just before you eat them. No cheating three days aging them. Cook the drums seperately as they take longer.

You guys are so petty! You say pa tah toe and I say po tay toe. Come on the guy is sharing his secret recipe and you all want to tear it apart and analyze it wing by wing! It is a great recipe and different too. Anybody can melt a stick of butter pour in some cayenne sauce add a splash of vinegar but who bothers to roast cayenne peppers (i mean how do you think the peppers got in the dang bottle any ways) great taste a little too much work for me so I modified but it was awesome, THANKS FOR SHARING!!

I live in Ohio and my favorite hot wings are a "Roosters" so I have tried to duplicate the taste at home...This is very close to their "Donkey" level of hot... Coat the wings from Kroger's meat dept. with Kentucky Kernel seasoned flour with Cayenne pepper added... Refrigerate for 30 minutes, deep fry at 350°F for 12 minutes then coat by rolling in a Tupperware container with Frank's Buffalo Sauce... Enjoy!

 Daniel (Iowa) says:
In Buffalo they're simply called wings. They're not hot wings and they have to be made the authentic way in a deep fryer, non-breaded, and HAVE TO be made with Frank's Red Hot as ONE OF THE MANY INGREDIENTS. The last time this native Buffalonian checked there are roughly 15 different ingredients in true authentic Buffalo Wing sauce, Frank's and butter (margarine) are only two of those. Let's not forget the garlic, cayenne, paprika, celery salt, garlic salt, black pepper, vinegar, Worc sauce, freshly minced garlic, and the rest...It's also celery, carrots, AND blue cheese. No ranch dressing!
