olivier in france Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Most of what he says about wings, is true...crispy, not greasy or "overly" sauced (but fully sauced) is important. The confusion here (in the article itself), is that the blue cheese is for the wing. IMO, it is only for the celery. The wing, should be eaten, slightly hotter than you can stand, without blue cheese. So, no Grady's for me. Â Even for wings you're the one Dean!! Â Blue cheese is for the Celery!!

TheChimp Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Best wings ever. Go to Wegmans and buy the frozen wings. Put them in the microwave for like four minutes. Take them out, shake them up and back in for 3 minutes, take them out and pour Frank's hot sauce all over them and put them back in for another 3 to 4 minutes. Take out, let cool and then pour blue cheese dressing all over them. It's like a chicken wing soup, and absolutley fabulous! You were TRYING to make us puke, right?

The Dean Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 buy a bag of raw, frozen wings at a grocery store or Walmart...Tyson or Townshend, 5 lb. bag.  Fry Daddy...put 8-10 in for about 12 minutes...mix Franks hot sauce, a bit of margerine and some Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce...mix till there's a good tang with a hint of the Jack Daniel's to take a slight edge off the Franks...Marie's Blue Cheese..............heaven.    Better than Molson's recipe, that's for sure. But, these wouldn't be hot enough for my niece's 10-year old boys. You are taking edge OFF of Franks? You need to add hot TO Franks, to have any real impact, IMO...but. that's me. I like em hot.  I may be the only person that isn't crazy about Marie's, too. But, as they are only for the garnish, I can deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put them on a raised wire rack above a lipped baking sheet.  Tips:  - do not brush them with oil, thinking that they will crisp up. Added oil insures sogginess.  - do not move them up to the broiler at the end of the bake time, thinking you will get extra crispness. They will char in an instant.  - when they are turned over midway during the bake, I like to give 'em a very light brushing with Frank's.  - feel free to extend bake time if you like.  I put some Frank's, tobasco, paprika, ground pepper, dried parsley flake, a touch of salt, and some margarine in a stainless steel bowl I have, with a plastic snap-on lid. I set it on the oven top 15 minutes or so, to heat it and melt the margarine.  You can make them as hot as you like...items like these are available most everywhere.  http://www.junglejims.com/attractions/jung...s_hot_sauce.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do them similar to you, though I do baste with a little butter at the start. I cook them at least an hour.  My little hitch is to throw them back in the oven for ten minutes after I've done the full coating of Franks. They come out great; people were impressed last years during the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come out great; people were impressed last years during the SB.  Good to hear you've tried the baked method. Wings shouldn't be thought of as snobby cuisine - a bit of crispness, a slather of lip-buzzing sauce - that's it.  I think many wings are consumed by folks in fine form, at least half in the bag, or heading that way.  Forget eclectic cheeses, fancy wines or beers or liquor...when one hankers for wings, one is on the hunt for heat, salt, and grease, and when out with one's pals, or them at one's home...camaraderie.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Count me in on not liking Marie's either (too rich). Anyone in WNY should be buying Rootie's (sold right next to Marie's at Tops, Wegmans, etc.) It's the closest to the real deal for those that don't want to buy a gallon of Ken's at Sysco or Latinas. Â And WTF is it with local joints serving their wings with prepackaged bleu cheese? That stuff sucks!

What I don't like about Maries is, the dressing itself is rather tasteless. If I made wings more often, I would get that big bottle of Ken's.

(Most suicidal sauces suck, I find.) Duff's problem is they over-sauce their wings. I always ask that they use a little less sauce, than usual. Â I didn't pull the trigger on wings, the other day.
