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.
