Who better to share Buffalo wing recipes than Drew Cerza, also known as “The Wing King”? Fresh from this year’s National Buffalo Wing Festival — which draws more than 78,000 wing aficionados — Cerza explains how to make the ultimate in game day food:
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Chop up and sauté butter, shallot and garlic cloves. Add dark beer, chili sauce and BBQ sauce — stir up for 1 minute. Add ancho pepper, brown sugar, honey, cayenne pepper sauce — stir for 2 minutes.
As you create the sauce, drop 50 chicken wings (the amount you drop in at one time will depend on the size of your fryer) in your table-top deep fryer.
Once wings are fully cooked, sauce the wings in a large mixing bowl. To plate the wings: Garnish the plate with celery and carrots and serve with a side of blue cheese dressing.
Serve with celery and blue cheese dressing. For equally crispy wings: Deep-fry wings at 375° F (High) 10 minutes until cooked and crispy; drain and serve.
