Buffalo Wings

Alton Wings

Original Buffalos

I've made several Alton Brown recipes, but never repeated one.  Never got a result worth all the labor most of his deals require.  His chicken wings will be an exception.  Every thing he does with these wings is counter intuitive. Steams wings for 10 minutes, In the fridge for at least an hour.  Bakes them at 425° for 40 minutes - 20 min./side.  The  wing sauce is true to the original Buffalo Wing's - 3/4 stick of  of butter plus chopped garlic, melted;  add 1/4 cup of hot sauce and toss hot wings.  The steaming removes enough fat that they won't smoke the house up when baking. The fridge time is for drying the wings, which makes them crispy.  And crispy they are, even after tossing in the sauce.  Mo Sup ate twice as many as me.  Click the pic for the recipe.  Oh - I put the wings on a rack in my fry pan and steamed them in 2 shifts.  The hell with all that other crap.
