This post is a little late but I have to clear out the queue. This is from the other week when the blogs were crazed with superbowl recipes. I don’t watch football or any sports really except for the occasional hockey game but I can identify with snack food for television events – namely Lost’s premiere (so good). So I tried to make homemade buffalo wings. I couldn’t get them quite as crunchy as I like but I experimented and found broiling to be the best method. It was all pretty easy when it was said and done. Plus you can forfeit a bit of crunch if you are giving up the deep fried part.
I used a combination of half melted butter and half Frank’s hot sauce with salt and pepper to brush on them as they broiled. Turning as necessary. Once they were cooked through and crispy I tossed them in more Franks.
For the blue cheese dip I used about 2T blue cheese crumbles, 1T mayo and 1T whole fat yogourt plus salt and pepper and it came out great. I used a fork to mash it together but still leave some texture.

Anytime is a good time for buffalo wings!!
I love a good bleu cheese dip with my wings
Thanks for the recipe!!
I think it’s good that you baked these rather than deep-fry them, they are rich enough with the butter/Frank’ sauce combo.
Also, glad you have “firm” carrots!
Now there is a tasty treat! I have been meaning to try making chicken wings at home for a while now.
I’m a appetizer freak and you’ve made me hungry already with these! Since you baked them, it’s even more fabulous. That means I can eat more!
