Buffalo wings are a perfect party food. I’ve tried all kinds of things for the wings and nothing came out with that perfect “Buffalo sauce” taste. It turns out that in this case brand names matter. You just can’t make Buffalo wings without Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. The recipe for the wings is right on the bottle. I just twisted it a little here to do them on the grill and to add some kick. These are super easy. You can make a bunch at one time to really feed a crowd. You can fry these too, but it just too much work. Baking comes out even better and it is easier, you can’t beat that.
Ingredients:
16 wings (if you prefer, cut into halves for a total of 32 pieces)
1/2 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
cayenne powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Season wings with spices.
2. Pour hot sauce over wings, mix and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat grill (or oven) to 425F.
4. Place wings on grill and cook for 45 minutes, turning every 10-15 minutes.
5. Remove wings from grill. If desired toss in a little sauce. Enjoy.
The wings are really good on the grill, but I actually like them better when Tony does them in the oven. The meat really comes right off the bone and they have that authentic “wing restaurant” feel. But I like buffalo wings no matter what.
