Spicy Buffalo Wings
Makes 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 8 chicken wings
- 1⁄3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 to 6 tablespoons “Louisiana-style” hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
- oil for frying
- blue Cheese Dressing and celery sticks, carrot sticks, Zucchini sticks
Preparation
- Cut wing tips from wings and discard or reserve for making chicken stock. Split each wing at the joint and cut through so there are 2 pieces from each wing. Rinse and dry completely.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, hot sauce and cider vinegar and stir until completely blended.
- Heat oil until it is 375°F. Put half the wings into the Cuisinart® 3.4-Quart Deep Fryer and cookuntil browned and crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove wings; drain briefly on layered paper towels.
- Then stir hot, crispy wings into the hot sauce mixture. Repeat with remaining wings.
- Serve hot with cold vegetable sticks and Blue Cheese Dressing.
Note: If you have some guests who do not appreciate hot and spicy, fry the wings as instructed and toss with your favorite BBQ sauce or honey mustard sauce. For “super-hot” strength wings, add additional hot sauce along with the Louisiana-style hot sauce.
