Alleged Anchor Bar Wings - Robert Collins
BUFFALO WINGS
-------------
This recipe came over the net about five years ago [now 7--jw]. It is
supposed to be the REAL Buffalo Wing recipe from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo.
The Sauce--This makes enough for about 30 "wingettes"
- -----------------------------------------------------
6 Tablespoons (3 oz.) of FRANK'S Louisiana Hot Sauce (now Durkee's)
1/2 stick of margarine (not butter!)
1 Tablespoon of white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon of celery seed
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon of red pepper
1/8 teaspoon of garlic salt
dash of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of Worcestershire Sauce
1 to 2 teaspoons of Tabasco Sauce
Mix all the ingredients in a small sauce pan over low heat until
the margarine is completely melted. Stir occasionally.
The Wings
- ---------
I buy Perdue [East Coast Company--any will do--jw] wings and separate them
into "wingettes", discarding the tips, but you can buy bags of frozen cut
up wings and defrost them.
Fry the wings in a deep fryer set at 375 degrees F., using vegetable or
peanut oil. I fry 15 wings at a time for 12-15 minutes.
Drain the wings for a few minutes then put them in a bowl. After all the
wings have been fried, pour the sauce over them, cover the bowl, and shake
to completely coat the wings.
They can be eaten now, but I like to put them on a baking sheet and bake
them for a few minutes to get an extra-crispy coating. [agreed--jw]
Serve with carrot and celery sticks, Marie's Bleu Cheese Dressing, and
cold beer (Genee Cream Ale is traditional).
