How to Make Buffalo Wings
Buffalo wings have revolutionized late-night bar food and football-watching feasts. The dish takes its name from the city in which it originated -- Buffalo, New York -- but you can give them whatever name you want when you learn how to make them in your home.Known for their spicy kick, Buffalo wings are typically served dripping in their signature sauce, along with a side of blue cheese dip to moderate the heat. Celery sticks are the cooling accompaniment to dip and munch between wings.
These "Male-Bonding Buffalo Wings" are just as likely to be devoured by the fairer sex. Feel free to adjust the heat -- use as much or as little of the hot sauce as you and your guests can handle

Hey, everyone. I'm Judith with Recipe.com. Today, I'm gonna be
showing you how to make Male Bonding Buffalo Wings, a
perfect dish to serve up with the fellows while you're
drinking your beers and watching a game. So, what you're
gonna need for this is 12 chicken wings. We've discarded
the tips of our chicken wings and we've cut our
wings at the joints, so altogether we have 24 pieces
of chicken right here. We have half a cup of
crumbled blue cheese, half a cup of sour cream, half
a cup of mayonnaise, two tablespoons of hot pepper sauce,
one tablespoon of paprika, two tablespoons of melted butter, one
tablespoon of white wine vinegar, and one minced garlic clove.
So, first things first, we are gonna get our baking
dish, a glass baking dish right here, and all we're
gonna do is simply lay on our chicken wings on
like so. So, yes, this is a very popular one
with the guys, nice and spicy, and a really great
treat when you're-- when you're doing something fun. There you
go. So that all goes in there. We'll set this
aside and we're gonna make our sauce to go over
them. So, for our lovely sauce that's gonna go on
top of our chicken wings, we're gonna get our pepper
sauce right here, our melted butter, and our lovely paprika,
one of my favorites, and we're just gonna stir all
of that in together, and that is just gonna give
the chicken wings a really great kick. Okay, perfect. All
we're gonna do is pour that over our chicken wings.
You can get a brush if you like and brush
them over. You can do it with your fingers, but
make sure they're all nicely covered. So now it's time
to make our lovely refreshing dip to go with our
chicken wings, so in a food processor here, let's put
in our mayonnaise, in it goes, and our sour cream
and we're gonna put the sour cream and mayonnaise in
the blender, like so. That blue cheese goes in there,
too, and our garlic, without...and our white wine vinegar. There
we go. So, let's blend that up 'til nice and
smooth and creamy. Okay, so our dip is done, it's
nice, it's smooth, it's creamy, it's refreshing, and it's gonna
be great with our chicken wings, so we're gonna put
all of that into a nice serving dish right here,
and we're gonna keep it nice and cool until our
chicken wings are done. After 30 minutes, we've drained ou
chicken wings and reserve that extra sauce to the side.
Now, we've put our chicken wings on the rack of
a broiler pan right here and we're just gonna garnish
with a little bit of salt and pepper, so they
are gonna go under the broiler for about 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, we're gonna turn our chicken, brush them
with our remaining sauce, and broil in there for another
10 to 15 minutes until the chicken is nice and
tender. So it's been 10 minutes and we've taken our
buffalo wings out from the broiler, and look at them,
they look fantastic, golden, crispy brown and just flavored so
wonderfully with those beautiful herbs that we put on there,
and I've just served it up in a dish with
our beautiful dipping sauce, put some blue cheese on there,
and a great way to serve them is with some
celery, too. Well, if you guys don't bond over that,
you could definitely call me because this is pretty much
a fantastic dish. There you go, everyone. All you guys
out there, that is your Male Bonding Buffalo Wings.
