substantially. (Carol)

My take is that they go into the flour. That's based on the recipe stating,
"Put flour and seasonings in ziplock bag".

I must have read that recipe a half dozen times before asking. apparently
my coffee isn't doing its job. Sorry Dams.

We don't get 'Frank's hot sauce' here, so I have to ask - how 'hot' is
it (as in Hot or OMG - that's HOT)? Also is it 'sweet-ish' or not?
Thanks, love chicken wings, wanna try this one too.

Not particularly hot. Maybe a 3.5 out of 10. Not sweet at all; it's made
from vinegar and ground cayennes. You can read about it at
www.frenchsfoodservice.com/recipe/foodservice/prod_franks.jsp?fc=1
Bob
Thanks, Bob. I like my wings more of a 5 out of 10 for wings. I am sure
some of the local sauces I already have at hand will do the trick.

We were getting 'Buffalo Wings' at a pizza place in Lindisfarne,
Tasmania.
"Heat" Pizzeria.
They made their own sauce. We liked it that much, we cajoled the recipe
out of the surfer dudes working the joint.
1/3 BBQ sauce
1/3 Sweet Chilli sauce
1/3 Hot Chilli sauce
*Damn* nice combo!!

My sauce is 2 cloves of garlic, crushed, sauteed in 1/3 cup butter. You
can add 1 finely chopped habanero pepper, seeds and veins removed for
extra heat. Stir in 1/3 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce*, the juice of 1 lime
and a tablespoon of honey. Simmer over low heat until the wings are done.
Note: Make sure you grab the Frank's Red Hot Sauce, not the Frank's
Chicken Wing Sauce, which is already mixed (and not very good, either).
Sounds good to me.
I have in my fridge a bottle of "OMG this is so hot, but so good" chili
sauce that I got from a lady who makes her own. Well, that's the
reaction it gets from my son and DH <lol> but it's a tad hot for me
though.
Anyway, think I might try it with this combo - the BBQ sauce and the
sweet chili sauce I have might take some of the 'heat' out of it,
maybe. Worth a shot anyway <g> Thanks.

No sweat. You'll like it.
Especially on really crispy skinned chicken wings :-)

I think it all depends on how asbestos your mouth is. For me, it's
"medium". Not so hot my nose runs, but I notice it.

There's enough fat in the wing skin to make it stick.

You can eat more wings that way. ;)

You certainly can substitute Crystal or Louisiana for Frank's. If you
like it a little hotter, then use Tabasco's Garlic Pepper sauce.
For Cathy, "local" is South Africa.

Wings, oil for deep frying, melted butter and Tabasco. Period.

You might try mixing your OMG-hot sauce with butter to temper the heat. If
you need the heat cut still further, it might be interesting to mix in
something like mango purée and a touch of lime juice.

You only want a very thin layer of flour, so no further binding is
necessary. When the wings are dredged in the flour, excess flour should be
brushed or tapped off.
Bob

The Anchor Bar uses Frank's hot sauce, not Tabasco.
> But I bet I would like the "sweet hot" ones just as much!
My favorite wing sauce is the apparently-defunct Inner Beauty Hot Sauce,
which is a mango-habañero-curry sauce. (I've posted a copycat recipe for the
sauce here before.)
Thai "volcano" sauce is also very good. I make the sauce using the "Volcano
Chicken" recipe on Clay Irving's web site.

I think the real point is *why* would you want flour on Buffalo Wings?
>On Fri, 09 Jan 2009 16:02:50 +0200, ChattyCathy
They are different from Frank's, but I they would be good too. I'll
look for the Tabasco Garlic Pepper sauce. It sounds like something
I'd like universally.

That was a big problem of my childhood. "Summer People" were all
around us. Most of them owned their vacation cottage/home. I asked
and was told we *lived* in a vacation destination and I was supposed
to appreciate it... so basically: shaddup already. I guess it's ok if
living there is your choice - but if you grew up in a vacation
destination (summer sports) like I did, it's not a big deal.

Same here, but we get the "winter people" aka Snow Birds. Ack!!! What
really pisses me off about many of them is their feeling of entitlement, as
though permanent residents simply don't matter and they should *always* get
preferential treatment. It's hard to resist slapping the shit out of some
of them.
One memorable incident happened last winter. I was in an express checkout
line with about 8 items where the limit was ten. Behind me was a Snow Bird
couple with a basket brimming over the top. The old woman poked me in the
side and said, "let us get in front of you!" I told her, "unless you're on
your deathbed and on the way to the undertaker, you have a lot more time to
wait than I do. The bitch! I have no patience for this crap.

When you were a kid, times and things were considerably different than they
are today.

If this behavior wasn't an occurrence that you can witness on an almost
daily basis, it *might* be tolerable. I don't suffer fools or those who
feel they are more entitled than I am. The keyword here might be
"equality".

So how do you so readily tell the locals from these Snow Birds?
There's a joke in SF (San Francisco, where sf lives) that you can tell
the tourists during the summer because they're the ones with blue legs

We attend a lot of flyball tournaments in Amana, Iowa. The events are
held at the Amana Colonies RV Park so there lots of retired travelers
wandering around. Most of us enjoy an audience and are happy to explain
what the heck we're doing with those dogs, so that's fine.
However, I have seen some pretty egregious behavior. Last spring the
local Lions Club hosted an all-you-can-eat for $5.00 breakfast for the
handlers. Attracted by the smell of cheap food, the RVers descended en
mass, butting in line, elbowing, complaining that they asked for FOUR
slices of bacon and only got three, while the handlers, due to start
racing in 15 minutes, fumed. My dogs have better manners.

you don't rinse the wings beforehand. therefore, all the gunk, blood and
bone fragments aid in binding the flour.
your pal,

my impression was that the 'canonical' buffwings called for magarine and
frank's. half-and-half magarine (i would use butter, though) would be
pretty fucking hot.

franks is not as hot as, say, tabasco.
ingredients in tabasco: distilled vinegar, red pepper, salt.
frank's: Aged Cayenne Red Peppers, Vinegar, Water, Salt and Garlic Powder.

Gods, Blake, I'm gaggy right now as it is, so thanks ever so much for
that lovely image.
Enough about food, I'm going to go sew something.
Typically, they are the most ancient, demanding, and insulting. On the
road, obviously, one has but to glance at all the license plates. Thank
God that most of them are only here through the winter.

That, too, unless they've been here long enough to acquire a winter tan,
and that would usually be only the golfing fanatics.

It's not just snowbirds, Wayne. I think it happens anywhere visitors
are spending lots of time and money to stay longer than a few days.
I saw it all the time during the summer in RI where we lived near the
beaches where the "summer folk" owned or rented mansions. They drove,
dined out, shopped, and even sunbathed as though they were royalty and
"natives" were peons to do their bidding or at least get out or their
way because they were IMPORTANT!
I found the answer for me in coping was to be unctuously polite while
not giving an inch.
gloria p
You're absolutely right, Gloria. It's any massive influx of people who are
"escaping" to a more comfortable climate for extended periods, wherever and
whenever that might be. Their general attitude is pervasive. Many of them
know each other and regroup upon arrival, only to take over places like a
plague of locusts.
Your coping strategy is excellent, and I do try to do that, but sometimes
my patience simply wears thin.
We have learned, however, the time frames to avoid when dining out or
grocery shopping, etc. We've also learned many places they simply don't
frequent, due either to cost (many are notoriously cheap), or incovenient.

me, i'm afraid of needles.
your pal,
blake
I'm not scared of them but I have a healthy respect for the things. I
use #20 needles (not quite as big as a round toothpick but close) for
sewing leather and neoprene skid boots and 1000 denier cordura, and my
industrial machine will run at 3,000 stitches per minute with the pedal
to the metal, and will drive a needle through a half inch of
vegetable-tanned leather without breaking a sweat. I work barefoot for
better control but I've still had a couple of near misses, including
once where I put a needle through the tip of a long nail - I got in the
way of the walking foot. Just remembering that gives me the heebie
jeebies. Needless to say, I keep my claws clipped these days.

My point would be confusion as to why anyone would waste time on wings
period. Gimme a drumstick or thigh so I can have some meat!
Lou
Any baked wing recipe can be made with drumsticks with no alterations in
time or procedure. Bake them on a rack in a hot oven, or, for that
matter, plunge them into boiling oil, it's all good. The skin ends up
just as crisp, the comparitively bountiful meat is well cooked right to
the bone.
Douse the entire piece with sauce, or tear it off the bone by the finger
full and dip it.
My point would be that I prefer the higher ratio of crispy skin to meat. I
like drumsticks and thighs as well as I like wings, but they don't
represent the same thing at all.
We used to go to a restaurant in OH that served Buffalo fried chicken. It
had no coating, but was deep fried until crisp, then plunged into sauce.
It was very good, but still not wings.

That is a point of view that simply would never have occurred to me.
I figured all the wings fans were people looking for something to carry
the sauce on, who hadn't discovered spoons. I like the meaty pieces.
I wonder what happens to all the skin from all the packages of skinless
chicken that gets sold (actually, I probably don't want to know.) Maybe
somebody could fry it and sell "Chicken Chicarones" for sauce dipping.
My main complaint with wings is the high ratio of bones to edible bits.
but with wings you get all that nummy fat-laden skin.

I think gnawing directly from the bone is sanctioned for wings,
Kathleen. At least in my barnyard.

Of course. But if you're trying to achieve maximum sauce-age, tearing
off pieces creates extra surface area.
And besides I just realized you might have noticed that I was talking
about Buffalo Drumsticks.

I tend to like my wings a bit on the dryer side, but I enjoy the texture of
the crisp skin with the meat. Since I eat all of it except the bones
themselves, a nice helping of wings is very satisfying.
OTOH, if I'm having fried chicken, I prefer that the pieces are meaty and
that the meat is very moist with a crisp crust.

No, I'm sure you don't want to know. Actually, if you slowly render
chicken skin to accumulate the fat, the remaining crisp skin is rather
good.

Well, there is that. The thing is, you just need *lots* of wings. <g>

Got it! If. I prefer to dip my wing into the sauce. Then I have
a handle. :-)
You were and I think I wasn't necessarily. :-)
>but with wings you get all that nummy fat-laden skin.
skin/schim... doesn't matter to me except for the sauce. I hate those
bones too. I agree with mo' meat - only I prefer thighs (unless
someone else is willing go to the trouble of turning a wing part into
a cocktail drumstick).

I sure don't mind being in the minority here. And I absolutely do
love nice crispy chicken skin. But I don't enjoy skin and sauce as a
meal. If I'm goona gnaw on messy meat I'd prefer some properly
prepared ribs. The skin on a lone drumstick is plenty for me.
So I'll leave the wings for those who enjoy them.
Lou
More for me!

I've never understood the allure the allure of wings. Mom loved them,
but to me they were just skin and bones. What's to like?
I like buffalo wings, but I think I'd like the sauce on anything that
presented it properly.

The wing allurement baffles me.

It was a poor way of saying I like the sauce better than the wings.

it's sort of like eating snails. just an excuse to eat lots of butter,
garlic and bread.
your pal,

Except with escargot, you can substitute mushrooms and be done with
it.
