BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

Buffalo Chicken Wings image

Hot wings got their start in Buffalo, New York, in a kitchen. Although there was no game on at the time, today spicy wings and cool sauces are traditional game-day fare. Cayenne, red sauce and spices keep these tangy buffalo chicken wings good and hot, just like the originals. -Nancy Chapman, Center Harbor, New Hampshire

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into 6 pieces
2 eggs, beaten
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

In a medium size bowl mix together the eggs and milk. Add ALMOST all of the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (reserve a dash of each for seasoning the chicken pieces). Set aside.
Sprinkle a dash of the remaining salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder onto both sides of the chicken pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Put the flour in a plastic bag. One piece at a time, dip the chicken into the egg/milk mixture then add to the plastic bag. Shake the bag so that the flour is covering each piece of chicken.
You can check to see if the oil is hot enough by sprinkling a little flour in the skillet. If it fries, it's hot enough! Place the chicken pieces in the skillet. After about 5 minutes, turn the chicken over. Let chicken fry for about 15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and the juices run clear. Enjoy!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

2 cups Greek-style yogurt or reduced fat yogurt
1/2 cup milk
2 large cloves garlic, grated
1 tablespoon granulated onion, a palmful
1 tablespoon paprika, a palmful
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
A small handful dill leaves, finely chopped
Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
12 white meat tenders and 6 chicken leg drummers
Vegetable or any light frying oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon mustard powder, a palmful

Pickle spears, carrot and celery sticks and salted radishes, for serving

Steps:

Dressing: Combine the yogurt and milk in a medium bowl. Add all of the remaining ingredients and stir to incorporate.
Wash and dry the chicken pieces and coat them in the dressing.
Heat a couple of inches of frying oil in a large Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. The oil is ready when rapid bubbles surround the handle of a wooden spoon when submerged in the oil.
Put the flour in large double-bagged paper sack and add the mustard, poultry seasoning or thyme, paprika, turmeric and cayenne. Add the chicken tenders and shake to coat them in the flour. Using tongs add the chicken to the hot oil. Tenders will fry in 7 to 8 minutes time while you bread the 6 drummers. Remove the tenders to a cooling rack and add the drummers, they will take about 12 minutes for the juices to run clear. Remove the drummers to the cooling rack and season all of the chicken with salt while still hot.
Arrange the chicken on a serving platter and serve it at room temperature or cold with hot sauce and honey for topping. Pickles, celery, carrot sticks and salted radishes make crunchy accompaniments.
