Hi. I'm just curious. How many people here like buffalo wings? I Like 'em a lot. When I go to a restaurant, and I get a choice of mild or hot sauces, I always choose the hot sauce. If you get a choice of sauces, what would be your preference?

hot sauce for me deffinetly.
Though some restaurants use seasoning which usually isn't as good I don't think.

Buffalo wings rock the house! If made correctly. And the leftover sauce is great with pizza. I get them very hot.

Man, I love them hot wings. They're the best shit around I order them when I can and buy them from Wal*Mart when I can, that is if I got the money. lol

I didn't know buffaloes could fly?

Seriously, love hot wings if done right. A lot of places don't know how to do them. They put lots of vinegar in the sauce and that sucks.

Give me hot sauce almost every time. Ouch!

Gotta agree with everyone else here, hot wings are the shiiiiit. But they have to be done correctly though. they have to have real BBQ sauce, none of this silly seasoning shit. but if done right, hot wings rock the fucking world.

Oh, I love me some wings, and I love 'em hot. Honestly I haven't the foggiest notion which is the right or wrong way to make them. I just wish we had here in Seattle what they had in Tallahassee, Florida when I lived there. There were places that specialized in wings, but you just didn't get one or two sauces for choices, you had some twenty sauces like BBQ, garlic, Cajun, teriyaki, and so forth and you could get any of them in degrees of heat from mild to nuclear. We used to get chicken tenders soaked in our wing sauce of choice and some kick-ass onion rings! Also, I just found some Buffalo chicken tenders at Costco. You just bake them in the oven and they're nice and hot, so get some good ranch dressing to dip these in. I doubt they are totally authentic since they're chicken tenders and not wings, but they rock my universe for sure, even on Thursdays. LOL!

For Seattle, your best wing sorce would probably Hooters.
But Florida does have some good wing places.
I've had the chicken tenders you were describing and they're pretty good.
And you gotta have the ranch dressing for sure.
Oh, and thanks to this post I ended up having some Buffalo wings last night and they were good!
But this topic is making me hungry so I better get going.

I love hot wings. I'm one of those crazy people that's always trying different hot sauces. You know, some of them have pretty funny names. I had one sauce called Professor Phartpounder's, another called Ass In The Tub, and there was one that said on the label "so frighteningly hot it'll make you go blind", lol!

dude hot wings are soooo awesome.
we have at least 3 wing places here in austin that actually specialize in wings, wing stop, wing zone, and pluckers. They are all so good, and I think each one has about 25 different flavors of sauces. Omg I love them alot, lol.

Hot wings r awesome. I'll eat 'em hot, just give me a drink beside me, i can't eat too many of them at once.

Post 21 by Heavy Metal Girl 85 (Zone BBS is my Life) on Sunday, 03-Aug-2008 19:22:28

Yeah, I agree hot wings are awesome, I don't eat them that often, there is no wing place walking distance near my apartment, but when I order from a pizza place or something, I sometimes order hot wings or just mild chicken wings, any kind of wings are good, but not much for the really really hot and spicy stuf, but those kind of wings sometimes are okay.

Post 22 by soaring eagle (flying high again!) on Tuesday, 05-Aug-2008 8:55:43

Oh yes Buffalo wings are the best. when I lived in NY would eat them all the time. Now everyone wants to bread them. We use to put the sauce and melted butter in a jar, real thick and put the wings in the jar and shake the sauce all over the wings. Oh man!!

My parents love them. I like the plain ones from Dominoes. I'm just not into spicey stuff. But I might try them with bbq sauce. Sounds delicious.

I like mild wings with ranch. Haven't tried hot yet.

I've been a lover of buffalo wings since the mid-nineties, go great with the blu cheese or the ranch, plus that bread they serve with it.
Oh, and as to buffalo flying? Well these wings are made from a genetic alteration done to the giant fruit bat of the Amazon basin. This bat could have gone extinct completely, but a rather rare and ironic combination of interests, the environmental sciences labs at Berkley and several major suppliers of meat products to the restaurant industry joined in an effort to both save this particular bat and fund the effort by supplying a percentage of the bats to the restaurant industry for the famed 'Buffalo' wings. Fortunately, given the right conditions, these bats will breed prolifically.
You can read more about it here. While the wing does in many respects look and taste like the chicken wing, it is in fact a bat. The main difference is in the shape or form, as a bat's wing is never covered by feathers but by fur. This is why you never see the full wing, but more sections of it, rather resembling miniature drumsticks. The strain used by the restaurant industry has been modified so that it is able to feed on more than just fruit juice.
The source of the wings isn't that well-known because, while in Thailand and some other eastern countries spiced bat is eaten in native villages, bat is not generally considered a food item in the west. However, the hope from the people at Berkley is that if rain forests are ever properly restored, the bat could be re-introduced into its native habitat once again. Rather an ironic coupling of interests, but at least for now, for us, the results are quite tantalizing.

I like buffalo wings but hold the sauce. If anything, I'd get a sweet sauce if available. I don't like hot things.

Post 34 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Thursday, 17-Jun-2010 21:31:28

Well hot sauce or no, it's amazing how two very different forces, the restaurant industry and the Department of environmental Sciences at Berkley can combine their efforts. Different goals, same outcome. And you will notice with or without the traditional sauce, the wings taste just a bit sweeter than your average baked or rotiseried chicken. Now that you know why, you'll no doubt notice it more.

as hot as possible, of course. people say i'm sick in the head when it comes to my spice tollerence. I love habaneros. they just rock.

Even the frozen ones are really quite good, though they can be a bit dry if you're not careful, but I just did up a batch and they were awesome.
