And what makes them Buffalo wings if it isn't the sauce?

So if you cook breasts in your buffalo sauce that makes them buffalo wings ? No. There is no hard and fast rule about the sauce. If it's good it's good, if not ....

Not city centre but the chicken wings in Blue Bar in Skerries are to die for. Massive portions too!

passionate · 04-04-2012 11:06pm

Yes, they do blue cheese sauce, also if your going to go there, try the Honeycomb and Toblerone Cheesecake, I am not a dessert fan, but my parkner had it, and I was sold, absolutely gorgeous, my parkner reckons he has never had cheesecake like it:)

if its buffalo sauce on wings, its buffalo wings

if either the wings or the buffalo sauce are missing they're not. It IS a hard & fast rule. You don't say I like curry chips but with garlic sauce instead of curry.

Now if you enjoy wings in any sauce you like, then thats all that matters to you. I'm not arguing which is nicer. Thats all down to personal taste

But chicken wings in buffalo style sauce = buffalo wings
chicken wings in barbeque sauce = bbq wings etc etc

Ok I just had to post how I cook mine. it takes time but it is worth it.

I usually buy my wings in FXB's on Moore street, about a dozen for me and the wife.

I cut off the wing tip and wash the whole wing I don't joint them.
Pat them dry using kitchen paper.
put in a bowl and throw in some flour (about a half tablespoon), toss them until they are lightly covered.
Now add a good glug of franks sauce, and toss again, make sure they are all covered. cover bowl with cling film and refrigerate overnight if possible.

The cooking is the secret, I have a smoker " Big green egg", I set this for about 250F / 120C and place the wings around the outside of the grill (so no direct heat from the charcoal) for one hour (first 30 mins outside skin down, then flip for next thirty). this would probably work in a regular oven, i just haven't tried it.

They come out really moist with the crispiest skin, all the under skin fat has melted away.

Then heat up some franks 1/2 and 1/2 with butter and toss the wings in it.

For a dipping sauce
I buy some M&S sour cream and chive dipping sauce and some blue cheese.
I crumble the blue cheese into the sourcream mix and leave over night.

Damn I'm hungry now, i know what I'm doing for dinner tomorrow

no, it would make them buffalo breasts, what's your point?

you do know that buffalo don't actually have wings don't you?

they are called buffalo wings because they are made from chicken wings to the recipe originally invented in the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY and they are called that specifically because of where they originated and how they are made there, i.e. with franks hot sauce and butter.

any chicken wing made in any other way is just a chicken wing, not a buffalo wing, simple as that.

Buffalo 19 in Rathmines has my vote...also enjoyed the Elephant & Castle. I heard the Harbourmaster has good wings (I had a horrible steak in there a few weeks ago though).

Tried tribeca in ranelagh tonight with the missus. The wings where georgeous. very nice sauce and nice blue cheese. Big portion aswell so dont be fooled by them being down as a starter

Slunk · 10-04-2012 8:33pm

Just back from Buffalo 19 in rathmines. I got the wings. Were quite tasty and I thought the blue cheese dip was nice. There was a decent size portion for 5.45

OH had the veggie burger which she was pleased with.

Would definatley go back if I was in the area.

Just tried out Whoop Ass Chicken Wing Sauce.

Its hotter than Frank's, I love it.
Can only get it in Harvey Nicks in Dundrum, or has anyone seen it in town?

If it's hotter then Franks hot sauce then I say the stuff is possible illegal :eek:
But if you find anywhere in north Dublin let me know

would like to try it myself

I agree - Buffalo 19 is tasty possible the best I've ever tasted. you should try the below recipe, got the exact same recipe a couple of weeks ago on a different thread on here, so I made them a couple of weeks ago and tasted pretty much the same has buffalo 19 really good recipe, if done right.

Only thing missing is a decent blue chesse sauce - i Just legged it across the road to the local chippy and bought some blue cheese sauce there.

here's the quickest rundown i can give which should give you great results every time.
buy wings (usually in 2.99 packs in supermarkets)

refrigerate them

*cut wings at joints and discard the pointy tip (or save for stock)

toss the wings in a mixture of 3/4 plain flour and 1/4 cornflour with a teaspoon of smoked paprika and or a teaspoon of ground white or black (or half and half) pepper. (about half a cup of the mixture per pack of wings)

return to the fridge for at least 30 minutes

deep fry for 10-15 minutes on high until golden brown

melt equal parts of butter and franks 'original' hot sauce (not the buffalo wing sauce if you can avoid it, it's just hot sauce + artificial butter and it's gick). (use about half a cup of each per pack of wings)

if you like them vinegary, just toss in the cooked wings once the butter is melted, or alternatively, simmer off some of the vinegar for 5-10 minutes before tossing in the wings.

i find it makes tossing the wings easier if you use a wok for melting the butter and franks, it's just easier to toss them around than in a frying pan or whatever.

enjoy with the dip of your choice.

*simplest example of hot to cut the wings is imagine you are about to have an arm wrestle and your arm is a chicken wing. you have the bicep bit and the bit between your elbow and your wrist. cut down through the elbow joint vertically and then cut off the wrist part and discard the hand. of course now you're never going to look at a wing the same again.

When making wings at home, add some cayenne pepper and some chilli flakes to the franks hot sauce. So hot, but so tasty.

Make sure to have plenty of blue cheese on the side for dipping.
