RalphOP83 Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 There is a little preparation involved before the wings are dropped into the fryer. You must rinse the wings clean with cold water then let the water drain away from the wings. Best method is to put the wings in a strainer over a sink...rinse away then let them drain for a few minutes. Drop the wings in the fryer....let them fry until crisp....lift them up and let them drain. For extra crispy drop them again for a minute or so (seems strange but i promise it is the best way for crispy wings). Use half salted butter and half unsalted butter when mixing with franks. Another great recipe is cutting open pit bbq sauce with half franks hot sauce/half open pit...gives it a nice zip. (hot bbq) A few other tips: cajun seasoning with franks for cajun wings Cajun seasoning with open pit for cajun bbq

I haven't tried the half and half. I think I will try that. Can it be any BB sauce or is the pit the best?
CarolinaBill Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I know it's not a classic sauce, but I like to make a hot honey mustard bbq style wing sauce sometimes real simple, just coarse brown mustard, cayenne pepper, white pepper vinegar, honey, and whatever else I happen to find that sounds good, its kinda a on the fly type recipe, but it always turns out well. As far as cooking methods, I have 2 methods: 1: bake in oven at 400 degrees for 15 min, then fry till crispy 2: fry from raw till crispy, coat in sauce, then sear on grill, this will carmelize the sauce and adds some depth of flavor (good for thicker sauces like teriaki or my mustard style sauce). good luck
manateefan Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Start with Franks, add garlic powder, black pepper, onion salt, cayenne pepper and Tabasco. Franks is good, just needs a little spicing up. Don't like it quite so hot, just add margarine.
richNjoisy Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 The Central New Jersey Bills Backers had some wings at the TBD Tailgate circa like 2004 that were fabulous. Ok we are off to a good start. I'm into all types of sauces and want to add more to my recipe book. Thanks in advance. Thanks! I (of course) use Frank's. I replaced the butter a long time ago with OLIVE OIL. Depending on the crowd - I also mix in a certain amount of Frank's xtra hot. I tailgate these days next to the Fieldhouse in Lot 1 on the same row as Kenny the Ketchup man and his Pinto. My colleague, Ron, usually brings his cooker since he lives locally and I assist in the cooking for games I am at. This year it will be the Opener and the Jacksonville games. -RichNJoisy
Formerly BF_in_Indiana Posted August 10, 2010 Author Posted August 10, 2010 The olive oil sounds interesting.
stuckincincy Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Add Salt and pepper to this and you're pretty much there. Also, add some tabasco for a little extra spice. Secret ingredient is a tiny bit of vinegar. I add some dried parsley, and a bit of tumeric which adds it's characteristic yellow tint along with the flavor. I'll give the vinegar a try.
BillsFanNC Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Wrong. There's vinegar in there too. It's what makes the nose-hairs curl. I worked in a few wing joints around town in high school and college. None used vinegar.
Zackry00 Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 If you ain't coughing as you're raising the wing to your mouth, there ain't enough vinegar. This made me LOL because I miss the Hot wings from Duffs... It's been a few years. You all make it sound easy to make wings. Now I just need to get a deep fryer and I'll be making my own in no time!
PromoTheRobot Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 1) Drive to supermarket 2) Buy Country Sweet sauce HOT 3) Pour over wings You're welcome. PTR
Captain Caveman Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I worked in a few wing joints around town in high school and college. None used vinegar. Now you know why your wings sucked.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Don't wait for a deep fryer. I know it's heresy, but the best wings I ever had were baked. You're dead to me.
Captain Caveman Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 You're dead to me. I would have been dead pretty soon anyway with all those deep fried wings. Seriously, don't knock it until you've tried it. If you can't bear to do it yourself, get some baked wings at BJs in Fredonia.
Zackry00 Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Don't wait for a deep fryer. I know it's heresy, but the best wings I ever had were baked. Living in NC, everyone seems to bake their wings and they don't have that crisp that fried wings have. I like my wings crispy. Thanks for the tip, but I think I'll be purchasing a fryer in the near future.

Thanks for the tip, but I think I'll be purchasing a fryer in the near future. If they're not crisp out of the oven your friends are doing it wrong. High temperature (like 450), and no sauce until they've been out of the oven for 5 - 10 minutes.
richNjoisy Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Don't wait for a deep fryer. I know it's heresy, but the best wings I ever had were baked. So, you have shared with us that you have never really had good wings, huh? my condolences
The Tomcat Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Don't wait for a deep fryer. I know it's heresy, but the best wings I ever had were baked. WHAT!!!!! ARE YOU NUTS?

Now I just need to get a deep fryer and I'll be making my own in no time! cooking just for yourself? then a small deep fryer will be fine. You can cook up to 12 wings at a time. http://www.amazon.com/Presto-05420-FryDadd...1059&sr=8-1 don't forget the fries, celery, blue cheese (Marie's) and beer. burp
richNjoisy Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 WHAT!!!!! ARE YOU NUTS? Answer: yes he is. Poor guy, never had good wings.
