Franks RedHot Sauce

Add more butter?

I got the original sauce and thought it was way to hot.
Tasted similar to the hottest wing's in the porterhouse. Eyes watering from eating it.
I usually get the lakeshore hickory bbq, its nice thick and spicy enough.
But wondering if the other frank's sauce is less spicy.

Yeah you need to get the "Buffalo Wings" hotsauce, the original stuff should'nt be used on wings it's wayy to hot for that imho.

Supervalue on the quays in Dublin have it in stock. Got 3 bottles today. :pac:

Nope. He just needs to add butter to the original sauce to make it a bit milder and tastier. All that wings sauce is original plus clarified butter. Mixing original and good quality butter works much better than the premixed stuff

BLASPHEMER!!! :mad::mad::mad:

just kidding.

seriously though, steer clear of the buffalo sauce and stick with the original and use real butter.

there's something in the buffalo sauce that is unnatural. not sure what it is, some sort of preservative, but neither myself nor the missus can stomach the buffalo one now that we're used to the real deal.

there are only 2 reasons you should EVER use the buffalo sauce.

1. every bottle of original sauce on the planet is gone and it's either buffalo or nothing.

2. you suffer from a rare genetic disorder* that renders you incapable of melting butter in a pan and adding sauce to it.

* if such a thing exists, you should probably not be allowed near a hot pan anyway.

as several people have said, cook wings however you prefer, melt butter, add (original) sauce to desired strength to butter, simmer for a few minutes if you want to tone down the vinegar, add wings to sauce, toss, serve, eat and repeat until unconscious.

i've said it before and i'll say it again. if you like your wings moist AND crispy, toss them in some CORNflour (regular flour is too stodgy), rest in the fridge if you like, but not 100% necessary with cornflour and then deep fry them in a good light oil like flora or crisp n dry at 190 degrees C, or as hot as your fryer goes until golden brown and then toss them in sauce.

trust me, I've done them a minimum of 50 times now over the last couple of years and tried every which way to do it and this is hands down the best.

for the ultimate treat, use de boned chicken thighs trimmed and cut into wing sized strips (skin on) and get all of the flavour (and more) and none of the fiddly bits, plus more meat for your money and it doesn't take much more prep time than cutting wings once you've done it a couple of times and you may even be able to get your butcher to do the work for you.

Which Dunnes? Was there much left??? :eek:

I got them in the Pavillions in Swords, but its probably all branches that stock Franks are doing 33% off..

Jesus lads, is there still a panic about this 'not being imported to the country anymore'? Just because some idiot said he knows someone who heard it it's unreal the frenzy it's caused. I haven't seen it running out in any of the places I used to buy it. Dunnes in Cornelscourt has boxes of the stuff. This thread had been great for marketing it and causing panic and confusion!

Ok! I am dying for some of these wings, but I can't find the sauce.:mad:
I have tried the tescos in Santry, spar and centra on the ballymun road. Going into the city centre later, can anybody tell me where exactly to get some?? Please want some wings so badly.

Have wings in the oven at the moment! After reading all the posts, I bought a bottle of Franks and a pack of wings yesterday in Dunnes. They'd better be good!!

Best doing them in the fryer and make sure to coat them in cornflour and leave them in fridge for at least 30 mins before frying. Use half a cup of franks to half a cup of butter then when the wings are cooked simply toss them in the sauce before serving. This recipe is world famous and used in resteraunts all over the world but maybe you just dont like the sauce. Not everyone can like it. I love them though, made a second batch for dinner the other day. Buffalo wings twice in one day cant be good. haha

Tesco Dundrum are selling the "Buffalo wings" sauce again :pac:

Ok, so is tabasco sauce in any or an ok substitute for Franks? if you have exhausted all other options.:(

I love all things of the chili variety so was suprised I didn't like these. There was just some sort of odd taste I didn't like, gonna try them again though, think I may have put too much butter in the sauce and the wings themselves weren't the best.

my other half doesn't like them if the wings aren't well cooked, so i always make sure they are crispy brown in the fryer at the hottest temp before i coat them in the franks.

i also find that the vinegar can be a little overpowering too sometimes, so i always simmer off the butter and franks for a few minutes before i toss the wings in the sauce as the vinegar evaporates fairly easily. so....

• cornflour + fridge for 30 mins
• highest temp fryer
• good & crispy + browned off wings
• no more than 50/50 butter/franks
• simmer off some of the vinegar
• paint your fingernails blue so you don't accidentally chew one off when it's covered in sauce.
• enjoy.

Going by where you looked for the sauce Raoul try Dunes in the Charlestown Center on the St Margarets Road Finglas they had loads of bottles up to last week. Whatever you do don't use tabasco to make your sauce. It's Franks or nothing unfortunatly.

this place is a shop here in holland that imports and delivers all kinds of things from America and England. It's pricey but it's the only real way to tide me over till i can fill up a suitcase and bring it back over!
