It’s National Wing Day!!

Posted By HelenFern On In Appetizers | 8 Comments

In 1977 the city of Buffalo  (New York) declared July 29 National Wing day to celebrate the many ways wings have been served since the dawn of the original Buffalo Wing.  And so we celebrate the humble wing!

Hot Wings!

Posted By HelenFern On In Appetizers,Chicken,Main dish | 4 Comments

Buffalo wings started in Buffalo New York.  A small, family restaurant, The Anchor Bar, served them for the very first time in 1964.  And since then, there have been hundreds of variations – and here is mine!

hot

What you need:

How to Do it:

Mix the hot sauce with the garlic, 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 1 teaspoon of lemon pepper.  Place chicken in a glass dish and pour marinade over it to cover.  Cover the dish and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

Mix the flour with the remaining sea salt and lemon pepper, chile powder and cayenne pepper.

Heat oil in a small, deep pan to about 350 degrees.  Fry each wing until browned on all sides.  Place on a baking dish with a rack and bake in a preheated, 350 degree oven, for about 20 minutes, until the chicken has no pink left.

Coat lightly with more hot sauce.   Serve hot with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing (or both!)
