BUFFALO-STYLE WINGS

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 whole chicken wings
Salt
Juice of 2 lemons
Olive oil
2 bunches baby carrots, tops removed
Juice of 3 large carrots
1/2 habanero
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Canola oil, for frying
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Toss the chicken wings in a bowl along with a sprinkling of salt, half of the lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil. Transfer wings to a baking sheet and roast until the fat has begun to render and the skin starts to get crispy, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Very carefully slice the carrots on a mandoline, then drop the slices into a bowl of ice water until ready to serve. Before serving, drain the carrots and add them to a serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.
  • Add the carrot juice, habanero, honey, white wine vinegar and the remaining lemon juice to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 20 minutes. Finish the sauce with the butter, stirring until completely melted and fully integrated. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Keep warm.
  • Add 4 inches of oil to a large Dutch oven and heat to 375 degrees F. Remove the chicken wings from the oven and, in batches, fry them in the oil until the skin is crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove each batch of fried wings to a large bowl, add some of the reduced carrot sauce and toss to coat. Serve the wings on a platter, garnished with the blue cheese. Serve with the dressed carrots.

CLASSIC BUFFALO WINGS



Classic Buffalo Wings image

In this crunchier take on the classic Buffalo wing recipe the wings are marinated in hot sauce prior to being dredged in spiced flour and deep-fried. An extra coating of flour gives them a beautiful uniform, golden brown appearance and the wonderful crunch evocative of Southern-style friend chicken. This recipe also calls for you to make your own blue cheese dipper sauce, which is quite simple - and fun to experiment with. Try substituting gorgonzola or any other blue cheese you like (Roquefort, Maytag, stilton) and you will be surprised at the results!

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

30 chicken wings, small wing joint removed
2 cups hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
Cayenne pepper
2 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
Oil, for deep-frying
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
1 teaspoon minced shallots
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 pound blue cheese, crumbled
Celery sticks, for serving

Steps:

  • To make the wings: Place the wings in a glass or other non-reactive bowl and add 1 cup of the hot sauce and Worcestershire. Mix thoroughly, being sure all the wings are coated, cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  • Pour the oil for frying in a large pot to a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the flour in a separate mixing bowl and season with kosher salt and cayenne pepper to taste. In a separate bowl, prepare an egg wash by whisking together the eggs and milk until well blended. Working with all 3 bowls (wings, flour mixture and egg wash): first dredge each wing in the flour mixture, then dip the wing in the egg wash; and finally dredge the wing completely in the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Deep-fry the wings for 12 to 15 minutes or until the batter achieves a crisp, uniform texture. When cooked through, set aside to drain on paper towels or the nonprinted side of a paper grocery bag.
  • To make the dressing: in a mixing bowl and using a wire whisk, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, parsley, shallots, and garlic, blending until smooth. Gently stir in the crumbled cheese until completely mixed in.
  • To serve, place the fried wings in a large bowl and drench with the remaining 1 cup hot sauce (or less, to taste). Serve with the blue cheese dipping sauce and celery sticks on the side -- and plenty of napkins!

If you are looking for a less greasy alternative, grill the meat instead of frying. Serve with blue cheese dressing. You can also use thighs in this recipe. Using thighs is less wasteful - no bones, no tips to throw away. Just good eating! Serve these wings with blue cheese dressing.
