Wings and Things Garlic Buffalo Wings

Buffalo wings are pretty amazing, but for me Wings and Things garlic buffalo wings are my favorite. They have a bit of spice, and a nice garlic flavor kicks in, and suddenly you are grabbing for the next wing.

For me, hot wings are one of the most satisfying chicken dishes you can order out. Thank goodness these were created by the Anchor Bar many years ago. I like to use Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, as I think it gives just the right amount of heat. This recipe really makes a very mild buffalo wing sauce. If you like your wings hotter, you can add additional cayenne or even a little bit of freshly chopped habanero.

Cooking tips

For this recipe, we are going to quickly dredge chicken wings in seasoned flour. Then we are going to partially fry them before finishing the cooking in the oven.

I always get asked what type of oil should I fry the wings in. I really like to fry my wings in either peanut oil, cottonseed, or even canola oil. I like all three equally as well. You can even fry the wings in vegetable shortening if you like.

I am having you start these in on the stove by frying them and then we are finishing the cooking in the oven. I think this will help ensure that the wings are fully cooked, but yet you get that wonderful flavor that comes from frying the wings.

If you are new to cooking, I find that doing the wings this way, ensures your friends, family, and loved ones will still continue to be in those roles. When I started cooking I sometimes undercooked chicken. Rare beef is wonderful, rare chicken is not.

How to buy and cut the chicken wings

When it comes to buying the wings, I always like to buy whole chicken wings and then cut them myself. It is very easy to cut your own wings. Two quick cuts and you will have your wings separated in no time.

I should also mention it is often cheaper for you to go ahead and cut up your own wings for your buffalo hot wings. Sometimes people separate them into two or three pieces. Hooters cuts them into two pieces; the drummette and then the flapper. Most other places do three cuts; the drummette, the wing tip, and then the middle portion. Very few people enjoy the wing tip of the wings. So I typically cut them into three portions, and you can make stock out of the wing tip.

    I really love pizza hut’s hot wings, I always get medium hot buffalo bone out. I’m 17 and I haven’t had a lot of experience cooking, but I want to make supper tonight for my mama and me. I was just wondering if this recipe tastes similar to to pizza hut’s? If not, any ideas on how to make it that way? And sorry about writing such a long comment lol

    I love the flavor of “Buffalo Wings”, but the heat is a bit much for me. What adjustments would you recommend to bring this down to a medium range?

    • stephaniemanley

      Donna, you could cut out the Cayenne, also you may want to keep the amount of butter the same, and then add less hot sauce. I hope this helps.
