I cut up fresh chicken wings. I melt butter and stir in a good amount of hot sauce (sorry, I eyeball it depending on the amount of wings I am cooking) and a couple dashes of cayenne. I marinate in this mixture but I don't think you have this kind of time.
Next I fry, bake, boil, or even broil the wings. It depends on my mood for that day, lol. Next, I use a fresh batch the same hot sauce mixture I mentioned above minus the cayenne pepper and toss the wings in it. I then put them on a cooking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes at 350.
At home if we don't grill them, I'll bake them at 375 degrees for 30 minutes; flip them over and bake another 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and slather with hot sauce. Turn the temp to 400 degrees (or you can broil) and return to the oven for another 5-8 minutes to crisp the outside.
Here is the ultimate wing sauce, rumour has it that this is the Anchor Bar's Original sauce from way back. Either way, I've been using this recipe for at least 15 years, the card its on is stained from hot sauce lol.
I'm not going to get into the "how to" part on frying wings, just be Sure to use peanut oil and let them drain or it'll be a soppy mess.
The Sauce:
3-6 oz's of Franks Hot Sauce (might be called Durkee's in some parts still, I don't know).
1/2 stick of Margarine (not butter!)
1 tablespoon of white vinegar
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder
1/4 teaspoon of red pepper powder
1/8 teaspoon of garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon worchestshire sauce
1 to 2 teaspoons of tabasco sauce
Mix all the ingredients in a small sauce pan over low heat (Low!) until the margarine is completely melted, then stir until everything is blended into the sauce. Get the sauce off of the heat at this point or you may begin sacrificing some of the flavour.
Fry the wings in peanut oil, drain, then (those cheap lemonade pitchers with the top that turns open or closed work great) place in pitcher with sauce, however much you like, shut top, shake until coated.
I like really chunky bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks.
Give this one a try, you will not be disappointed. You can make the sauce in advance and use it within a few days too.
Me, too maggie and I just ate dinner! Thanks T&C for the recipe. It sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it. I tried repping you, but it wouldn't let me...need to spread it around some more. BTW, is this wing sauce nuclear or fire engine hot? I'm guessing it's not too bad since there are no hot peppers.

Karen... it is more in the medium level, not crazy hot, but has great taste. I don't like hot wings, but medium wings are my cup of meat. Franks is a mild but great tasting sauce, goes great on eggs, potato's, really anything. Just make sure that the wings are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside... that is the key. No one likes soggy wings. I tong them out so they aren't sitting in sauce. I hope you and everyone gives this one a go and enjoy's it!!
I broil mine in the oven. 10-20 minutes per side depending on the size of the wing pieces. I just buy the frozen bag of wings, so there's less work. NO breading.
After broiling, I toss in a bowl and douse with Frank's Hot Sauce. NO butter or other additives. Just Frank's.
I like to serve them with homemade bleu cheese dressing, celery and carrot sticks.
Delicious!!!
