I love buffalo wings. But I could never understand why Americans fry their chicken wings rather than bbqing them. I prefer to marinade them in the buffalo sauce, then BBQ them while basting them. So much tastier.
That said, the other night I made Nashville chicken. Battered and deep dried chicken dipped in hot sauce (similar to buffalo sauce but with a lot more Cayenne pepper)
It was great.
Americans prob fry them for speed and crispy skin.
It's all good. No right or wrong I guess.
I much prefer cooking wings on bbq than frying them.
Myself, I have tried many different methods for buffalo wings.
The method I prefer is smoke them indirect with a light rub only on high heat to get crispy skin.
I personally love, and I mean Love, sweet baby rays buffalo sauce.
I warm some up in a pot.
I add some butter and cayenne pepper for bit more heat.
Then I bring the wings off the BBQ, and toss them in a bowl with the warmed up sauce.
Serve and eat.
My wife likes to drizzle ranch dressing over the top to cut some of the heat.
But I just eat em.
On occasions I have used other hot sauce like franks red hot and the like.
But that's how I like it.
