These buffallo wings were very good and quick. I used 4 1/2 TBS of regular hot sauce and 1/2 TBS of Tobasco. It was spicy, but not too hot. If you like your wings like I do, make a lot more sauce than the recipe recommends. I had to double the recipe, but I like them with a lot of sauce.
Very good. Might experiment with Cider vinegar next time. -
Awesome recipe! Very easy to make and delightful to eat!!!
-
good recipe…I used the hottest sauce I could find and increased liquid amounts by 50%
-
I doubled this recipe, and served them at a party…they were gone within 15 minutes. Everyone loved them! I made double the amount of sauce, and let them simmer in the crockpot which worked great.
-
VERY GOOD, THANKS FOR SHARING. I PLACED THEM IN THE CROCK POT TO SIMMER FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS BEFORE SERVING. THEY WERE VERY MOIST AND SAUCY—JUST THE WAY I LIKE THEM!
-
This is an aewsome recipe. I made them Super Bowl Sunday and everyone loved them. They were gone in seconds!!!!!
-
These recipe was easy and excellent!
-
THANKS GINGER!!! This recipe was sooo good, I made them last Saturday for some friends who came over to our house, they were a big hit.Tasty and spicy, I did flour them before frying and added 1 cup of Tabasco Bloody Mary Mix to the sauce while it simmered, they came out FANTASTIC!!!
-
Quick, easy, but really pretty bland despite the fact that I added much more hot sauce than what was called for. Probably won’t make them again. Sorry.
-
MMMM….. very authentic.
-
This was a great recipe. I used chicken strips instead of the wings and I dredged them in flour before frying. My husband and I didn’t think it was hot enough though, so next time I will use more hot sauce. Definitely a keeper!
-
This was a hit at a cookout last night! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and deep fried them only 7 minutes. Then threw them in a crockpot for a couple of hours. Much easier to eat and they didn’t last long! You can also use a bottle of ready made Buffalo Chicken Sauce if your store carries it, and it still works great.
-
This is great recipe and as close as you’re going to get
to the taste of real buffalo chicken wings. I grew
up outside of Buffalo and living in CA now I don’t
get to eat real Buffalo wings often. So i use this
recipe to make my own. Instead of frying the wings
I make them on the grill. They taste great! -
The sauce is what makes this recipe great! I didn’t fry the chicken wings, but skinned and baked them then tossed them in the sauce and served them with bleu cheese. They were fantastic! And so easy! Thanks for a great recipe!
-
these are so easy and so good. Use a deep fat fryer. I add a juice of one lime to sauce. Enjoy.
-
These are the best wings I’ve ever had! I used my deep fryer, then into the sauce…just the right amount of heat, not too much or too little.
-
I don’t fry my wings. I bake them in the oven at 400F for one hour. They get crispy like frying without the mess!
-
these were pretty good. i simmered them in the crock pot, and i had to double the sauce recipe to get all the wings coated. they just weren’t really all that hot…maybe i needed to simmer longer, or maybe next time i’ll buy a hotter hot sauce. overall though, this is a good, easy, quick recipe. thanks 🙂
-
These were okay – My husband didnt really think they were flavorfull enough – I may try again with more hot sauce as well as a different kind.
rray -
Very good! I grilled the wings instead of frying them. They weren’t really very hot, but I am from green chili country! I put them in the crock pot to keep them warm until game time. Everybody loved them!
-
FANTASTIC!!!! If you hot wings, try this. They are great!!!!!
-
This got rave reviews at our Superbowl party although I doubled the recipe and then doubled the butter on top of that–if not, it would’ve been just too hot! (could’ve been my hot sauce and not the recipe itself). We ‘Fry Daddied’ the wings first and they were nice and crispy.
-
This was the BEST wings I have ever had! I baked my wings like someone else said, and then I broiled them with the hot sause to make them more crispy. Next time I might add more hot sause. I like them REALLY hot. But they were GREAT!!
-
this recipe was very good. i didn’t expect it 2 come out so tasty. i added another 3 or 4 tbps of hot sauce because i like my food spicy. my husband loves it…gonna have to start makin it for my parties….thanks alot
-
I have searched & searched for a recipe that comes close to the wings I used to always get at a mexican restaurant chain in St. Louis & now I finally have it. Finally wings like I remember them.
-
Great recipe, very easy to make. The hot sauce is perfect – not too hot, just right.
-
perfect! My family insists I fix this often. My compliments to the chef.
-
This is certainly the closest to what real Buffalo wings are supposed to be like on the side. The main comment I would add is that the correct hot sauce for the authentic Buffalo flavor to use is “Durkees” or “Frank’s Red Hot.”
Otherwise, I’ve been told by chefs in Buffalo that margarine, not butter, is used to get the correct consistency for the sauce. Other ingredients you can add are (any or all): Tabasco to spice up the flavor, crushed garlic, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, honey, a smidgen of prepared mustard. I am in the opinin that ketchup or tomato-based sauces should not be found anywhere near Buffalo wings. But, as is, this recipe is perfectly authentic, if that’s what you’re after. A+ -
Very good, could have been hotter!! Went quick and I was asked for the recipe! Thanks
-
Omitted the vinegar since hubby usually says hot wings have too much vinegar in the sauce and it was excellent!
I too opted to bake the wings (425 for an hour) vs deep frying and we’ll make these over and over again – thanks!!!
-
Great recipe! Wings came out great and I got a lot of compliments. Also my husband usually gets intestinal problems (if you know what I mean) when he eats hot wings, but he loved these and didn’t suffer any bad side effects!
-
These wings are sooo good! I bake mine in the oven for 45 minutes at 425 on the broiler pan so the grease can fall off, then toss them in the crockpot for spicy coating. Maybe that’s a *little* healthier 😉 My husband doesn’t like very spicy food and these were perfect for him (I added tabasco to mine before serving).
-
This recipe is great. I have not had good wings in over 10 years until I tried this recipe. My father is a real wing lover so I gave him this recipe and he makes them about once a month. Thanks Ginger.
-
Easy and GOOD! I make these wings often. LOVE THEM!
-
I have long sought the trick behind great wings. This recipe reveals it. Keep it simple. The second step is the secret. Instead of dumping lots of hot sauce on the wings, put the wings in the sauce. I usually use more hot pepper sauce, but my family and friends love spicy food. Interestingly, if you accidentally make the sauce too hot, adding a little more vinegar reduces the heat. I don’t know why, but it does.
I sometimes fry the chicken in advance, and then reheat them very slowly with the sauce in a covered pan. It’s easier when I have folks over to watch the game. Reheat slowly, as, if you try to rush this, they will be dry.
My twist on this, in what is probably a vain attempt to make these a little healther, is to use thighs instead of wings. I get some good sized thighs, trim off the fat, and cut them into three pieces. One cut one each side of the bone, leaving a nice amount of meat on the bone. Be careful, though, as these fry more quickly than wings. But everyone loves them; some prefer the boneless strips, and others go for the piece with the bone. Nonetheless, whether you use my thigh trick, or use the wings, this recipe is the real thing. Thank you, Ginger. -
These wings are great! Instead of frying, we baked them (400 degrees for 50-60 min). Also, we used “Frank’s RedHot” sauce, and added a dash of Worcestershire, and about a 1/2 tbsp of honey. Good stuff!!
-
Great flavor!
-
very easy and good. I will make this again
-
I added extra hot sauce and sliced jalepeno peppers to make mine very hot. Excellant dish!
-
Awesome! You don’t have to go out for wings when you have this recipe. I used the “coating” mixture from the “Restaurant Style Chicken Wings” off this web site and deep fried them, then used the sauce from this site. They are delectable!!
-
The frying part is good and the sauce is good, however, the simmering part (for us, anyway) kind of ruined the dish. We like our wings crispy and this made them soggy. We’ll go back to just frying, placing them in a covered container with the cooked sauce and giving it the good old shake.
-
I too broiled these then put them in the crock pot for a few hours…they were amazing. The meat was so tender and I always add a little extra sauce…cant get it hot enough for this family.
-
I grill these or broil them to cook, to eliminate some of the fat. They turn out just as good and you can vary the heat by cutting down on the amount of hot sauce or adding some barbeque sauce to the mix.
-
This is a great recipe! I changed one thing though. I used cider vin instead of white vin. I thought it gave it a little bit more flavor and it wasnt as bitter. I also wanted to tell you that… My husband always buys bags and bags of hot wings. So, when I made this recipe I froze them on a cookie sheet then put them in a freezer bag. He cooks them like he would the ones he buys. 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. Now, I only pay about .99 a pound! Thanks Ginger!!
-
oh my gosh! this was a perfect chicken wings recipe for superbowl sunday night! it was my first attempt at wings and the recipe was very easy to follow and everything! i even offered some to the pizza lady who came to deliver our pizza and guess what? she ended up calling me later to thank me for one of the best wings she’s ever had! thank you so much Ginger!
-
These were a hit. I was really scared about adding 5 tbs. of hot sauce (were not really keen on too spicy) but these were great. Just enough spice. I took another reviewers suggestion and made sure I bought “Franks” hot sauce. Really good!
-
I had a bet with my teenaged son that I could make better wings than Domino’s pizza, and after comparing a copycat recipe on the web, found that this is pretty much what ingredients they use. Of course, now that I won the bet I’ll be making these forever!! At least we’ll be saving tons of $$. Fabulous recipe that is almost foolproof too.
-
The sauce was really thin and greasy tasting and not nearly hot enough. Even my fiancee who likes his wings milder didn’t find them spicy enough. (And I added about 3 – 4 extra tbsps of hot sauce and 1 tbsp of tobasco!) I also found that there wasn’t enough sauce for all of the wings when I followed the recipe exactly. I think next time I’ll try to sweeten the sauce with a bit of honey, use a little less margarine, and use a different brand of hot sauce for a better taste. These could be really good if the sauce was right. The texture of the wings was great. I like the idea of deep frying them and adding the wings to the sauce to let them simmer.
-
My guy thought these were great and said I should make them once a week. I used Franks hot sauce and left the vinegar out. I will try making them again today with the vinegar or maybe substitute jalapeno juice. I think they could have been a little hotter.
-
We loved them! My honey said they’re better than the ones you get in Buffalo, NY (where buffalo wings originated). Thanks!
-
like other reviewers, i used frank’s hot sauce & left the vinegar out. also, we baked the wings instead of frying them. they were excellent but you have to make sure you REALLY coat them well for enough flavor.
-
No frills but very tasty. I baked my wings for 40 minutes at 400 – then sauted in jalapeno juice, butter and hot sauce.
-
Loved this recipe, the chicken turned out nice and crispy, however it wasn’t hot enough for me. Next time I’ll add more hot sauce and some hot peppers.
-
Very tasty, but not nearly hot enough for me. I added more hot sauce (Glory Hot Sauce)to suit my taste. The sauce was a little thin and didn’t coat the wings well. Instead of salt and pepper, I used Sylvia’s Sizzlin’ Hot Spice to season the wings. Next time, I think I’ll try dredging my wings in a little flour before I fry them.
-
This is SOOOO wonderful! I was craving wings this afternoon, so I found this recipie, and a few minutes later, I got these goodies! I used Tobasco sauce, and they turned out perfect for my taste-mild-medium. (TIP: The 5 tbsp sauce is 1/3 cup.) I used boneless chicken breasts, and they would’ve been a little more moist had they been baked and then simmered it sauce. But, delicious still!
-
Yummy!!! I took a gander at the reviews. I broiled the wings a bit, then placed them in the slow cooker and let them sizzle away in the sauce. I did add a touch of honey to the sauce and even more hot sauce. Great recipe- thank you
-
The base recipe was great! Added a little cajun spice for a little more zip. Mixed this wtih about an equal amount of barbecue sauce for an interesting taste.
-
My husband loved these!! I breaded them with bread crumbs before frying and cut up boneless chicken instead of wings – they were a hit in my house! Goes great with Bill’s Blue Cheese recipe I found on this site!!
-
Excellent wings. I read past reviews complaining it was not spicy enough, so I added more hot sauce and even a dash of cayenne. Boy did it make it spicy, almost too spicy! I think I’ll just stick with the original and add a dash or two more.
-
Awesome- best wings ever
-
This recipe is excellent. I used a whole bottle of Franks Original Hot Sauce for 5lbs of weeks for New Years eve Party. Everyone loved them! I did fry mine in the 2 quarts of oil instead of baking. Excellent for anyone on the low carb diet!
-
Made these for New Year’s Eve and they are the real deal! I controlled the heat for the kids and added extra tabasco for the adults! THANKS!
-
Yaaaaaay! :0)
-
I probably should’ve simmered my chicken longer. This didn’t have a whole lot of heat to it. I also didn’t use wings. I was making chicken breast sandwiches for dinner, and decided to try to spice things up using this sauce. I will probably try it again making sure to let the chicken simmer in the sauce longer. Also, I felt the vinegar was a little strong in this, but that could’ve been the hot sauce I used, too.
-
I did this recipe for the Super Bowl and it was a success. It was hot enough for me but I had to add extra hot sauce (Frank’s Hot Sauce)for the guys. GREAT RECIPE!
-
Wow! Simple and tasty! My tips for a spicy, spciy wing sauce…simmer in sauce pan while oil is heating: 1/4 cup lite margarine, 1/3 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, 1 tbsp Tabasco, 1.5 tsp garlic powder, 1.5 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp black pepper. I deep-fried the wings (I used a dozen) for about 12 minutes (nice and crispy), then tossed in sauce. Yum, yum, yum. Thanks for the recipe! No more store-bought sauces at our house!
-
Excellent wings!! My husband and son absolutely love it when I make these with my home-made pizza.
-
Despite the fat content, i just loved it.
-
Excellent! We are true wing fanatics and like ours a bit hotter, so we add fire, but this is a FAB recipe to get you started. This is a perfect recipe for beginning wing eaters or, as my 13 year old says, “sissies”. LOL. I wouldn’t change a thing except to kick it up a notch! I just bought more wings today to make this again!
-
I tried this recipe and I loved it. They chicken had so much flavor.
-
If you don’t like these, you don’t like buffalo wings. I baked for 50 minutes (25 mins each side) coated with butter and flour to get around frying. I’ll fry next time because I’d like them to be crunchy. The sauce is EXACT!
-
Wow this was so easy to use and they tasted great!!! I tried this with boneless thighs and they turned out great!!!!!
-
Mmm, mmm, mmm! This was the first fried chicken recipe I’ve made and they are a great way to start off! I used chicken drumsticks instead of wings and the sauce/coating was great! They were also delicious cold the next day. Wonderful recipe!
-
I just got finished eating these wings, and they were PERFECT! I definitely prefer hot wings without a flour breading. I used the sauce as is, other than adding a little garlic powder. I also used about 1/4 cup regular Frank’s hot sauce, 1/4 Xtra Hot Frank’s sauce, and I only had white wine vinegar instead of white vinegar. This sauce was exactly what I’ve been trying for – after trying several other recipes, I am glad I found this one. One other note – I used margarine, which I think is better. Butter is too overpowering, in my opinion. Thanks for a perfect recipe!!
-
Flavor is perfect. My suggestion is that the simmer time should be posted. Mild 15 minutes, Medium 30 min., Hot 45 minutes.
-
Excellent. These deserve more than 5 stars! Great for parties, but make a lot because they will disappear!
-
This recipe was really good. The wings had a good flavor, and you can get them as hot or as mild as you like. I did use more sauce than the recipe called for. I wanted to make sure the wings were thoroughly coated.
-
It was good but I wanted the sauce to be a little bit thicker than it was. I will try to thicken it up next time. Everyone really did enjoy these wings though.
-
Awesome recipe. I’ve made it several times, and my recommendation is Crystal brand hot sauce … just seems to have a perfect “not-too-hot, not-too-mild” flavor. Quick and easy.
-
THE best wings ever! This save’s me a ton of money when we’re hungry for good wings, now we can make them even better at home!
-
Amazing wings! Better than any restaraunts wings we’ve ever had!
-
Great recipe! Soooo easy! Hubby doesn’t like too spicy, but loves these! Don’t expect left-overs. Thanks
-
I followed exactly what it said, but it wasn’t very spicy. Also, I think the vinegar was too overpowering. I used Frank’s Buffalo Wings Sauce. My brother and sister didn’t think it was that great. I guess I will try it again next time and tweak the ingredients.
-
We loved this recipe! I doubled the ingredients for 40 wings, used half the vinger, and simmered for about 15 mins. I also put a light coat of flour on them before frying to help absorb the sauce. These were awesome.
-
You can’t buy a better tasting wing anywhere!
-
The sauce turned out pretty well, and since I used a milder hot sauce, they weren’t too spicy. My 18-month-old niece kept begging mommy and daddy for more chicken. I also added some garlic to the sauce, which I thought added a good touch. These turned out great and everyone was happy.
-
I used frozen wings so it took a little longer to cook. After my chicken was cooking, I realized I was out of butter and margarine, so I used olive oil in place of butter. I mixed it in with the hot sauce and I couldn’t tell any difference.
-
These were awesome. Served them for a party–everyone liked them.
-
Very good, basic Buffalo wings recipe. I probably didn’t let the wings simmer for long enough, but what can I say? I was hungry and they looked so good. The wings weren’t as hot as I like, but I’d rather have them turn out too mild than too hot. I deep fat fried the wings, which didn’t take long–maybe 4 to 5 minutes per batch. My son and his buddy Carl thought they were excellent. My son rated them an “8” on a 1 to 10 scale. Not really a “3” and not really a “4,” so I’m rating this recipe a “4,” because it’s a great base to work from.
-
These were awesome!!! I tweaked it a bit because we like it a little hotter and a lot of ppl said it wasn’t spicy. I doubled the recipe EXCEPT the hot sauce was XTRA hot, I also added 1/2tsp of garlic powder and I left the vinegar at 1 TBLS. This recipe beat ANY (and I’ve tried a lot!!!) that I’ve tried. These are FIRE!!!!
-
I did this for a Thanksgiving afternoon snack. It taste ok, but it does not look as good as I ordered from the pizzria .My friends and I think the sauce needed to be a little bit thicker than it was.
-
I thought these wings were great! I won’t have to order out wings again. Thanks. PS: These are better than most I have ordered!
-
Hava made these many times, great for football games. Try using different Tabasco sauces
-
We had last minute guests over visiting from Asia and Europe so we wanted a very quick and American appetizer and took our chance on this. They were an absolute hit. They were easy, fast, and very tasty. Better than restaurants! Thanks for saving our night!
-
This was an awesome recipe. My family and I loved it.
-
This receipe is really good…and I am a wing lover, so I have had wings from many different restaurants. I followed the recipe to a “T”, using whole wings from the meat dept that I cut apart. They were never frozen; I’m not sure it that made a difference. The sauce was excellent, not quite spicy enough for me, but just enough so that the wings weren’t “swimming.” The next time I make them, I will find a way to spice them up a bit more. I used Texas Pete sauce this time. I also let the wings simmer in the sauce for a while. Very good, moist and delicious! I had company over and everyone agreed!
-
I am so glad I found this recipe. It is delicious and easy. Exactly like the wings you get from a pizza place. Will be making this lots.
-
This was a very good recipe. I will have it again and again and……..
-
This was GREAT! NIce & hot! I would suggest added a 1/4 teaspoon of flour to thicken the sauce.
-
Made for Super Bowl Party and what a hit! Of course, had to double the recipe, but should have tripled it! HA! This is a keeper! Thank you for sharing! YUMMY!
