WINGS:Can I make wings as good as the my favorite wingeries (wing restaurants)? I have been a wings fan for a long time and a few years ago I decided that it was time to take matters into my own hands. Part of my research consisted of repeatedly watching "Throw down with Bobby Flay" where he challenges Wing King Drew Cerza at the famous Anchor Bar, watching Alton Brown steams and then bakes his wings (Sorry AB, but no way! ), and visiting various restaurants in the area. I like traditional un-breaded wings. And after many batches, I also like to season the raw wings with creole or chipotle seasoning salt.
Cooking the wings is really straight forward: season wings (liberal coating), oil(peanut), temperature(375 deg.) and time(10 min). Something I found interesting is that all of the episodes of deep frying chicken say 350 degrees. I tried a batch at 350 to 10 minutes and waited, 15 and waited, 17 minutes and the were finally done. They didn't turn out right. Adjusting the thermostat up to 375 and I started getting the results I wanted in the 10 min time frame.
EASY HOT SAUCE:
I've made an easy sauce which works in a pinch but I'm still not satisfied when I compare what the local restaurants serve. Here it is, submitted for you approval: 1 cup Franks Hot or Xtra Hot sauce, 2 cloves of garlic, 1/2 stick butter. Enjoy.
