BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

This is interesting !!!!! when I told the children that I'm making "buffalo wings" for Eyba's birthday party...the first thing that came out from their mouth were....yeak!!!!!! we don't eat buffalo. Well..look's like the name of buffalo wings tend to mislead many and for those who are in the same boat with my children here's an explanation from Wikipedia :-

A Buffalo wing, hot wing or wing is a chicken wing section (drumette or flat) that is traditionally deep-fried unbreaded and then coated in sauce. Classic Buffalo-style chicken wing sauce is composed of a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and butter.^[1] Buffalo wings are traditionally served with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.

Buffalo wings were created in Buffalo, New York. The residents of Buffalo generally refer to them as "wings" or "chicken wings" rather than "Buffalo wings."^[2]

It's chicken wings la....you either baked or deep fried. As for Asian we prefer deep frying.

Cayenne pepper hot sauce and melted butter or margarine are the basis of the sauce. Buffalo wing sauce can be made with a variable amount of heat/spiciness, with the names of these sauces generally corresponding to the level of heat, such as mild, medium, or hot. Typically, the wings are deep-fried (although they are sometimes grilled or baked). The wings are usually fried in oil until they reach close to a golden brown color. They are then drained where they can either be placed in a bowl with sauce or seasoned with salt and pepper. Following this, one covers the bowl tightly and shakes to coat the wings. As an alternative to waiting to coat the wings until after they are cooked, one can also put seasoning over the wings in a sealed bag and shake them until they are coated evenly. Afterwards, the wings are arranged on a baking sheet and baked until they are cooked thoroughly. Wings can then be served dry with sauce on the side. 

I used paprika and cajun for my chicken....it's delicious and yummy....try this you sure love it.

Buffalo Wings aka Spicy Chicken Wings

 

Ingredients:

For the wings:

2 cups canola oil

2 kg chicken wings

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons butter

Hot Sauce (use whatever hot sauce you like, but Isued paprika and cajun used about 1 tsp each.

2 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp hoisin sauce

For homemade Blue Cheese dressing:

1 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic

1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon white vinegar

1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled

Salt & pepper, to taste

Directions:

The only real prep work is to preheat the oil in a deep skillet or deep-fat fryer if you own one. You want the oil to get to about 375 degrees F. While the oil is heating, chop off the tips of each chicken wing and throw them away. Then cut each wing in half at the joint. You will get a "drummette" and a "double-bone"

Season the bunch with salt and pepper. This is a good time to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

If you are going to make your own Blue Cheese dressing, chop the garlic, onion and parsley while you are waiting for the oil to heat up.

Fry the wings in the oil until they are golden. Be careful when working around hot oil. The splatter hurts. You will want to move them around while they are frying so not to stick to the pan. Don't try to fry them all at once. Do them in batches. They should take about 6 to 8 minutes for each batch to fry. Remove them to a plate covered with a couple of layers of paper towels to drain the oil. Then place them in a large bowl.

In a small saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the hot sauce, oyster and hoisin sauce. How much hot sauce you add depends on how hot you like your wings and the heat of the sauce. There is no way I can tell you how much to add. It is a personal preference. Always start with less and add more if it isn't hot enough.

For 2 tablespoons of butter, I would start with 2 tablespoons of hot sauce for mild and go from there. A 2 to 1 ration of hot sauce to butter is HOT, a 3 to 1 ratio is EXTREME in my opinion. But let your taste buds be the judge.

Add the sauce to the wings in the bowl and toss together with kitchen tongs. Here's where I differ from the original recipe. Remove the wings from the bowl with the tongs and place them on a baking pan. You can line the pan with foil to help with clean up. Just don't crowd the wings or they will steam rather than bake. Bake the wings for about 15 minutes.

How to make the Blue Cheese dressing:

In a small bowl, add all the ingredients together. Gently stir together until well mixed. At this point you can put cover and put the bowl in the refrigerator until the wings are ready. If you like to serve your wings with cold blue cheese dressing, make ahead of time and chill.

If you want to get fancy, spread the wings and celery out on a platter with the bowl of blue cheese dressing in the center.

Bila saya sarankan anak-anak untuk buat buffalo wings ni...semua jadi geli gelaman.....semua reject tak nak buffalo....katanya geli dengan daging kerbau......mak aii belum habis cakap semua dah reject.....tapi bila dah siap hidang...licin habis dibedalnya sampai minta lagi.  Itulah dia kan "don't judge the book by its cover. Nama aje "buffalo wings" tetapi sebenarnya resipi ini adalah resipi kepak ayam goreng....ha...ha.... asalnya resipi ini dari Buffalo State of  Amerika.  Lebih kurang kepak ayam goreng dekat Pizza Hut. Ada dua cara hendak buatnya samada goreng atau bakar atau kedua-duanya sekali. Tetapi saya lebih gemar goreng lepas tu buatkan sosnya dan salutkan semua ayam goreng tu baru nampak berkilat dan cantik. 

Bagi kita orang Asian lebih sukakan yang pedas jadi saya masukkan paprika dan cajun sedikit. Untuk memedaskanya pandai-pandailah kita agak. Sesuai sajian ini untuk majlis dan di barat mereka selalu cicah dengan blue cheese sauce dan dihiriskan sedikit celery dan carrot...macam gambar di atas. Bergantung kepada tekak masing-masing ya,,,nak makan dengan cili sos pun boleh...saya letakkan sedikit sos tiram dan hoisin sos...combination of Chinese and Western....sedap gitu.
