Original Buffalo Wings

By: Nancy Blair 
"If you are looking for a less greasy alternative, grill the meat instead of frying. Serve with blue cheese dressing. You can also use thighs in this recipe. Using thighs is less wasteful - no bones, no tips to throw away. Just good eating! Serve these wings with blue cheese dressing."

Original Recipe Yield 24 wings
 

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds chicken wings
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer or large heavy pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Cut off tips, and separate each wing at the joint. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

I like them. They could be hotter, if you like it that way - easy fix - just add more cayenne.
