Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing sauce
1/3 cup neutral cooking oil (like avocado oil)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 egg yolk
Kosher salt, to taste
2 dozen chicken wings
Neutral oil for frying, like avocado oil or canola oil

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the Frank's Red Hot, cooking oil, granulated sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the pan to a simmer over medium heat until it's bubbling, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Whisk the water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Add the contents to the saucepan and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, until it becomes thick.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool, about 10 minutes.
  • When the sauce is cooled, add the egg yolk to a medium-sized bowl. Slowly add the cooled sauce to the yolk in a steady stream, whisking constantly as you add to create an emulsion that prevents the oil from separating. When all the sauce is added to the bowl, cover the bowl.
  • If you're cooking the wings immediately, store the sauce at room temperature until you're ready to use it. For storing the sauce longer than an hour, keep the sauce in the refrigerator. Remove it to the counter before you begin frying the wings.
  • To prepare the wings, use a set of kitchen shears or a sharp knife to remove the wing tip. Discard the wing tip and slice between the flat and drumette to create two pieces.
  • Season the wings with a sprinkle of salt to taste.
  • Meanwhile, heat about 3 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven. If you're using an electric tabletop fryer, fill the unit to its MAX line.
  • Preheat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit over medium-high heat, using a deep-frying thermometer to check the temperature. When the oil reaches 350 degrees, reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Gently drop the wings into the oil and fry until they become golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes and are cooked all the way through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Depending on the size of your fryer, you may not be able to fry all the wings at once. When the wings are finished cooking, remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease and allow the oil to recover to 350 degrees before adding additional wings.
  • When all the wings are fried, place the wings in a large bowl. Add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the sauce and toss the wings with a pair of tongs until they're well coated. If you have leftover sauce, store it in the refrigerator, covered, for up to a week.
  • Serve the wings immediately, as the sauce will make the coating soggy.

WILD WILD WINGS

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

4 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup coarse kosher salt
3 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
1 cup hot sauce (we use Cholula)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup cornmeal
3 tablespoons chipotle powder
Peanut oil, for frying
Chicken Shake, recipe follows
Blue cheese dressing, optional
1/2 English cucumber, sliced into sticks, optional
1/4 cup berbere
1/4 cup hot smoked paprika
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons celery salt
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the wings: Bring 2 cups of the water, the sugar, and salt to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the remaining 2 cups water and cool the brine completely.
  • Put the wings in a bowl and pour in the brine, making sure all the wings are submerged. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • For the wing sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic and ginger are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the hot sauce and sugar and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 5 minutes to develop the flavors. You can leave the sauce on the back of the stove until you need it.
  • For the frying: When you're ready to fry, drain the wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Put the flour, cornstarch, cornmeal, and chipotle powder in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Dredge the wings in the seasoned flour, making sure each piece is well coated. Leave them on a rack while you heat the oil.
  • Fill a large saucepan one-third full with peanut oil. Set over medium-high heat and heat to 360 degrees F.
  • Working in batches, fry the wings until they're fully cooked and golden brown, 8 to 9 minutes. Keep an eye on the heat and adjust it to keep the oil between 350 and 375 degrees F. Drain the wings on a rack set over a baking sheet.
  • For serving: When you've fried all the wings, put them into a large bowl, pour in the wing sauce, and toss to coat all the wings with sauce. Pile the wings onto a platter, sprinkle on some of the Chicken Shake and serve with blue cheese dressing and cucumber if desired.
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix to blend.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, never-frozen chicken wings.
  • To make sure the wings are evenly coated in sauce, toss them in a large bowl.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when baking the wings. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Bake the wings until they are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.

This Wild Wings Cafe copycat recipe is a great way to enjoy your favorite restaurant wings at home.
