dinner tonight will be a large, moderately spicy bean burrito with the works (minus guac)

I don't believe I'm paying that much here, but it may be closer to that than I remember, for whole wings. Sometimes I find the drumettes at a good price.

Makes sense, and I love drumsticks. But I'm not sure the meat-sauce-ratio would work for me. I've had the larger wings before and prefer the smaller ones.


Amen.

Most places I know don't batter them. That's the Hooters-style wing, and there's a reason that Hooters has dropped significantly in popularity as wings have become more popular. I tried Hooters once maybe 20 years ago and refused to eat another wing there.

Yep - What I've mostly seen is the wing parts, skin and all dropped right into the fryer so they come out crispy. If anything, they may coat them in a very thin layer of flour for extra crunch. But if you see a buffalo wing with any kind of visible coating or breading on it after it's cooked, just offer to trade meals with your dining companion. :)

Fried chicken is great. "Hot" chicken, Nashville-style or otherwise, is great too. Buffalo wings are different and should not be prepared in the same manner.

ooh I thought I saw batter so I probably just saw crispy skin. I’m such a cooking newb. I learn so much here. I would prefer to eschew batter. I’m hoping that braslvr or somebody here has had success with making Buffalo wings at home because I would like to try it using a suggestion from a ft member who had success with their suggestion. I still love grilling the chicken thighs braslvr style plus my family enjoys hearing me say “grilled chicken brasil lover style” even though I’m only typing braslvr in FlyerTalk!!

Beef Broccoli tonight. It was the Kenji YouTube recipe sans the Chinese wine.

Everyone wanted noodles as opposed to rice, luckily I had a pot of water ready for ramen.
Tomorrow is pizza night and my dough has been started (and Biboli sheets for the kids).

Home from vacation.

I really wanted my leftover pizza but I’m too full.

On the wing tip in the last few days (pun intended), I like a seasoned, if not breaded wing. I grew up in Tampa, so the "Hooters style wing" is what I prefer, since they were bigger as opposed to BW3/Buffalo Wild Wings and other chains.

My folks used to love Hooters Mild and I would have to bring 20 home whenever I was out, including an embarrassing call to a store in 1993 as she knew we were there after I no landed.

As for wings today, I look at restaurant supplier store costs and buy from them. There's a Tampa store which sells 9# of breaded wings and flats for about $22. That's what my parents like opposed to air fryer or smoked wings

Wings were $2.99/LB in the 10# frozen bag at Costco yesterday.

Do you have a deep fryer?

lol of course not! If I did, I could make fried chicken and French fries. Omg you’re the best!!!!

stromboli pizza and cauliflower

Well then, what do you plan to do with the instructions for making Buffalo wings that you have asked for? :confused:
BTW, you can pan fry chicken in a few inches of oil...no deep fryer needed for regular fried chicken.

I’m hoping there’s a way to make Buffalo wings without a deep fryer. I’m glad that I don’t need Buffalo for it.

We recently took a sojourn through Buffalo, home of the eponymous wing. We sampled wings at Anchor Bar (where they originated) and at Gabriel’s Gate, which many hold to be the best wings in town. Neither breaded their wings. They were both great…though if you value healthy eating avoid looking up what’s in Buffalo sauce (spoiler alert: equal parts Frank’s Red Hot and butter).


This is how my mom’s childhood housekeeper made fried chicken. It’s still the best I’ve had.

Tonight I made a selection of items: marinated sautéed chicken breasts, pineapple and bacon chicken sausages, roasted oven sweet potato fries, roasted cherry tomatoes, and roasted broccoli.

I thought all wings had a good amount of butter.
I bet she made that fried chicken in a deep cast iron pan.
