Anyone wearing a Losman jersey is probably just there to get drunk and in trouble. Assume someone in an Orton Jersey would fall in same category...

Besides neither blue cheese nor ranch belong on the wings. The blue cheese is for the crudites. Can I get an AMEN?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 12 hours ago, The Dean said: That makes me a little sad. But based on my experience over the years I can attest if you find a Biils tailgate you will likely to be welcome. I typically bring alcohol to share, if I'm not at my own tailgate. You'll find they are usually happy to share their food and appreciate any sincere contribution. It goes without saying, be moderate in what you take and how you behave. Dont be intimidated at all, most Bills fans are great to kids. I have brought my boy to many tailgates and never had a problem. 98% of the people will be great to have a kid hanging around, but the 2% are typically very young and heavily drunk, just avoid those people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The locals aren't sold on their team. Let's take this house over! It looks like the visitors side is more expensive than the home side for similar seats right now. Could be nothing but seems telling to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior games i went to i would say there were 5-10% Bill fans, i am thinking it might be double this go round which frankly would be amazing.

Most places will sacrifice quality for fast service. They start with wet skinned wings, drop order after order without letting oil to come back up to temp, and then don't adjust timing to compensate for lower oil temp. Thats my guess.

Making an excellent wing takes work and time. I've done a lot of experimenting and finally decided that the double fry method works best for my tastes.

Never worked a day in the restaurant or bar business. I think you are exactly right, and with no experience you know how to fix the symptom. The problem is they just don’t care enough. Sad.... There’s a nice little sports bar about a mile from my house. I used to go there for Bills games and occasionally get the wings, or even beef on weck. (One of the owners is from WNY.) They just don’t execute it well, so it doesn’t take off. When I had a serious hankering for the real stuff, I drove 80 miles round trip to a Duff’s outside of town. It was worth the trip! Same food, but done right. 1 minute ago, Gugny said: Making an excellent wing takes work and time.

Never worked a day in the restaurant or bar business. I’ve worked back of house for 15 years, everything from line cook to kitchen manager/executive chef. I would say it’s more a combination of rushing the orders out, cooking at too low of a temperature, and not using fresh oil. Commercial gas fryers put out enough BTUs to not experience significant temperature drops even when dropping full baskets of frozen fish or fries. Lots of places fry everything in 1 or 2 fryers, and most frozen food calls for temps of about 350°. For a proper crispy wing you should really fry closer to 400°-425° and let it sit for at least a minute before saucing it. Many kitchens also put cold sauce on hot wings, which is a recipe for a soggy wing. Just my two cents Edited January 3, 2020 by Dirtyd415 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I take them home and toss them in my own sauce. If I have some rapport with the place, sometimes I just bring my own sauce and ask the kitchen to use mine. Never been a problem. Then again, I make sure to bring plenty extra, so the cooks can try some, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you cooking in grape seed oil? 350-375 with Sams Club Canola works just fine, as long as enough oil and enough space for each wing to have its “ wiggle room”! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
