Spicy Buffalo Wings

Spicy Buffalo Wings

  • 4 lb Chicken Wings
  • 1/4 lb Butter
  • 1/4 c of Red Hot sauce
  • 1/4 c of Tabasco sauce
  • 1 tsp of Dave's Insanity Sauce (or your favorite brand of "insanely" hot sauce)
  • 1 T of vinegar
  • cooking oil

Prepare the wings by cutting them into two sections and toss the tip... they don't need it anymore and you're not gonna eat it.

Start getting your deepest frying pan (or your fryer, if you have one) warmed up with enough oil to cover one layer of wings completely. You can tell when the oil is hot enough by sticking something like a wooden match or the end of a wooden spoon into the oil. If the oil bubbles around it, it's hot enough to fry. If you put food into oil before it is hot enough, it will just soak into the food and make it excessivly greasy.

Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the vinegar and the Red Hot, Tabasco & Dave's Insanity Sauce. If you've never tried Dave's now is the time, and for Christ's sake, go easy on the Insanity sauce if it's your first time! Even the teaspoon we're adding can be throttled back on. Why are we adding three different hot sauces? Cause each of the two off the shelf sauces has a slightly different taste and the Dave's adds the serious heat. When the butters all melted and everything is mixed together, turn off the flame but keep the pan warm so the butter doesn't separate.

Fry the wings about 10-12 minutes... don't try to cook them all at once unless you have a huge fryer. Six or seven at a time may be all your pan can handle before the oil bubbles over. When they're done, drain them off and toss them in the hot sauce (you can transfer the sauce into a larger bowl to make this easier).
