OK, so as some of you know I am a cook at a bar next to the Buffalo Bills Stadium, I basically make some of the best wings in the country haha. I've been told that by NFL coaches and players, random people, and even won a couple awards by the buffalo wing fest people. Which was weird because they came in looked completely normal didn't say a word about the contest and then my boss tells me the next day my food won

Its come to my attention that a TON of people don't know how to make proper Buffalo Wings. Whenever I'm anywhere (different states) else I try the wings and they're not made properly. Its really bad in the south, people bread them, undercook them, don't actually char the BBQ wings, BAKE them in bags (I find this one particularly bad)... its not good lol

So I'm going to give you all the PROPER buffalo wing procedure. Its something I've been good at for a while so I figured I'd share w/ everyone from a real buffalonian.

Things you'll need; Wings (obv), Deep Fryer ( NO par boiling or baking), Franks Red Hot Sauce (to be real buffalo wings you need franks), butter, or some sort of BBQ sauce. I like to get creative with it, toasting on different seasonings to the hot type and making homemade BBQ sauce

Drop the wings in the fryer none of that breading crap, the darker (more used) oil the better!!! Lil tip, adding a bit of vinegar to your oil will help the fats from the oil to not get into the food, I think it makes wings a little juicier too

Leave them in for no less then 20 minutes at 375 F, or if you want them less crispy you could do 350 F. Let them sit un-sauced for at least 1 minute. This makes the skin crisp up nicely. As far as sauce goes, its all about personal preference although as said before, Franks is the only way to go for hot wings. Also to get an even cook you need to take them out of the fryer and shake them up a few times so they don't stick together.

Ratios for sauce, Hot (straight franks), Medium (half franks half butter), Mild (3/4 butter 1/4 franks)

BBQ wings need to be charred to be good and DO NOT double sauce them. As in after charring. Takes away from caramelized BBQ sauce flavor.

There it is boys, hopefully this helps people make some proper wings!

what does "char" mean? what exactly do you do to char them?

what kind of oil do you use? and how much vinegar do you use in the oil? vinegar/oil ratio?

I have a brand new deep fryer I've never used before. gonna try this out

BuffaloP, these were not rhetorical questions. I need answers dammit!!
 
^ yeah, I'm not clear about the last step either.
Is it just: remove from fryer & shake.. they should already be however crispy you want/aka "charred"... let sit one minute or more, then put the sauce on & eat? (and, apparently, do not broil or grill with the sauce on?)
I'm so used to browning some sauce on.

Sorry sumo reply never sent the other day lol, char is for BBQ, toss them in BBQ sauce and put them on the grill for a lil, not too long unless you like things more burnt

I think its a cup per gallon? I haven't used this method in a while since I only use it at home and rarely make wings at home, the oil type I use is called Golden Fry, part soybean and part canola oil

Yeah it works better w/ used oil, so use it a lil on some fries or someething before you do the wings. Not necessarily the most important thing but it helps
