anyone else absolutely obsessed?

and has anyone had a good wine pairing? dr. pepper has always been my go to.

i think the only reason i've never tried to pair wine is because the glass would end up with bright red fingerprints all over it.

I like mine pretty spicy so no red would work and I am not really a fan of chard or reislings so I usually go with an Amstel at home or Monk in the Trunk if I am at a bar.

mainly started this thread to worship buffalo wings.

didn't necessarily want this to turn into a pairing thread, but chasing rabbits is fun too

I have them on a fairly regular basis although I've rarely had any I bought out that were as good as I can make at home.

When traveling alone odds are pretty good you'll find me at the nearest bar munching on wings and drinking either and iced cold beer or a vodka on the rocks.

I have a deep frier but it's a pain in the behind to clean, so I don't make them often. There's a place near me where I buy the wings deep fried without sauce, and then come home and make my own sauce.

When my son was in college, he worked part-time at a bar/wing joint and they taught him how to make outrageous wing sauce. He taught me and I make it better than any restaurant I've tried, including The Anchor Bar in Buffalo where they are supposed to have been invented.


Just one more sip.

i've never tried making them at home, but i've certainly looked at recipes. alton brown's looks the most interesting, but his still requires some deep frying, which i can't do in my small efficiency apartment.

how do you cook them?

I generally cheat. I just fry them either in my large wok or my large cast iron skillet.

You can pan fry them first to get a "crisp". Apply you're sauce, then finish them in the oven.

buffalo wings...

relatively low fat, no carbs if they're not breaded...sounds like diet food to me.

At home I prefer Buffalo Tenders to actual wings. More meat, less hassel. I think I'll have some tonight!!

My super easy recipe: Cut chicken breasts into strips. One egg beaten to use as a wash, and then dredge in bread crumbs. Fry in oil just long enough to crisp/brown the breading. Then into a 350 degree oven until done. Sauce is either Frank's RedHot with about equal parts melted butter, or Frank's wine sauce straight up. And always blue cheese - never ranch.

Margarita: 2 oz tequila (a VERY good blanco or reposada), 2 oz Grand Marnier, 2 oz Rose's Lime Juice, 4-6 oz margarita mix. Yummy!!!

Right up to the 'deep fry' part they're ok for you. I just fill a good 3 or 4 quart pot with oil now for deep frying and use a temp gauge to make sure I'm at 325-350. Easier to deal with than a specialty deep fryer.
