Quick Tip: Perfectly Grilled Buffalo Wings
I’m a sucker for crispy, spicy wings but not a fan of the way restaurants cook them (in the fryer - Did you know that!?!?!?)
I’ve found the best way to to get crispy wings inside is to cook them under the broiler, flipping them every 15 minutes for an hour or so. (Thanks for the tip Tom!)
However, the crispiest (and I’ll go out on a limb to say the “healthiest” wings) are cooked on the grill.
Getting grilled wings just right is super-simple:
1. Pre-heat grill to high (~450 degrees) — this gets the grates nice and hot
2. Reduce heat to low and spread as many wings as you can fit across the grill
3a. If your wings are fresh - Cook on each side for 10 minutes, then 5 minutes and 5 minutes. (Total cooking time, 30 minutes)
3b. If your wings are frozen - Cook on each side for 15 minutes, then flip for 5-10 more each. (Total cooking time, 45 minutes)
4. Toss in your favorite buffalo sauce and serve with delicious homemade blue cheese dressing
Best Buffalo Sauce
Maybe I’m taking a cue from my girl Sandra Lee, or maybe it’s because I can’t eat anything as is, but there are two buffalo sauces I rotate between that are to die for:
Tangy
Combine equal parts Texas Pete Mild Buffalo Sauce with Cackalacky Hot Sauce.
Savory
Combine 1 cup Moore’s Buffalo Sauce with 2 TBL onion powder, 1 TBL garlic powder and 1/4 tsp sea salt.
