This is certainly the closest to what real Buffalo wings are supposed to be like on the side. The main comment I would add is that the correct hot sauce for the authentic Buffalo flavor to use is "Durkees" or "Frank's Red Hot." Otherwise, I've been told by chefs in Buffalo that margarine, not butter, is used to get the correct consistency for the sauce. Other ingredients you can add are (any or all): Tabasco to spice up the flavor, crushed garlic, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, honey, a smidgen of prepared mustard. I am in the opinin that ketchup or tomato-based sauces should not be found anywhere near Buffalo wings. But, as is, this recipe is perfectly authentic, if that's what you're after. A+

I make a similar recipe but like a thicker sauce like some of the others who rated this recipe. Add about 1/2 tbs of flour to the melted butter to create a roux. Then add your hot sauce and vinegar. Also, lightly flour dust the wings prior to frying. Use Marie's Blue Cheese Dressing with added crumbled blue cheese and serve with celery sticks and you have an awesome appetizer/meal.

Awesome! You don't have to go out for wings when you have this recipe. I used the "coating" mixture from the "Restaurant Style Chicken Wings" off this web site and deep fried them, then used the sauce from this site. They are delectable!!

No frills but very tasty. I baked my wings for 40 minutes at 400 - then sauted in jalapeno juice, butter and hot sauce.

I am from Buffalo and do not need to make my own wings (they are everywhere), but on occasion its fun to do. This recipe is the closest I've seento the "real thing". Everyone has their favorite recipe but you can't really go wrong with this one.
