    I spent a bit of time trying to copy the wings in Elephane and Castle and I have come up with a very close match ;-)

    Obviously you need Franks hot sauce.

    You can get this in several places, see other threads (Fallon and Byrne etc.)

    Then add ghee, Pride was the one I found good in Aisa Market on Drury St, D2.

    Mix 70% hot sauce with 30% ghee in a pan and heat till hot enough.

    Whisk it to combine the sauce and fat.

    The more you heat it the less punch the hot sauce will have.

    Make about 10g/ml for each wing.

    They are real close to E&C!

    Any suggestions or variations are welcome ;-)

    I usually just use butter but am interested in trying Ghee instead.
    I could also use the Ghee for homemade Sheek Kebabs and the likes,i`m always meaning to pick some up.
    Was it expensive?

    Ghee is about €4 for 500g, about 3g per wing so not dear.

    The ready made stuff is truly awful, knock this up to compare ;-)

    make your own ghee, it's just clarified butter.

    It is but the results are better with this product than kerrygold ;-)

    Also it lasts forever as there is only fat and no milk solids in it.

    Add a tablespoon or two of white wine vinegar - it gives the sauce a kick.

    no you can't. what you can buy is franks with some crappy artificial butter substitute in it and pay twice the price for something half as good.

    anyone who can't melt some actual butter in a pan with their franks hot sauce shouldn't be allowed to eat it at all. :p

    The milk solids and salt in butter ruin the flavour.

    Try the ghee and see what i mean.

    I baste the wings about 10 mins in and then constantly until the end of cooking time. YUM!

    Elephant and Castle is the goal.

    I tried them with that exact ghee and it wasn't as nice as butter imo... too oily.

    +1 for the white wine vinegar. It's crucial!

    Dunnes in Douglas Court of Supervalue in Grange.

    Not found it in the city centre yet!!
    (Tesco Paul Street had it a while back but delisted it as they're competing in the Most Disimproved Tesco in Ireland Awards - they should win too!)

    I just love love love buffalo wings, since living in new york several years ago i always remembered the guys in the kitchen flaming up buffalo wings with lovely cool blue cheese dressing. I always fry the chicken wings in corn flour an flour, remove, then toss in buffalo wing sauce. I buy the wing sauce, franks, in dunnes stores in the sauces aisle. Cook them once or twice a month, a fav in my house.

    anyone care to give some step by step instructions on the cooking process from start to finish. I've asked a few folks about getting the elephany and castle recipe just right - some mentioned oven baking the wings orther have mentioned deep frying? Nails by Sinead - you mention 'I always fry the chicken wings in corn flour an flour'....?

    Thanks!
