Buffalo Bill'S Wings
Buffalo Bill's Wings offer crispy, flavorful chicken with a spicy hot sauce kick, perfect for game day gatherings or casual get-togethers with friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the wing tips off at the joint and discard.
- Cut each wing in half at the joint.
- Arrange the wings on a rack in a broiler pan.
- Broil 6 inches from the heat for 25 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, turning occasionally.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the wings in the Tabasco sauce and margarine mixture for at least an hour before broiling. If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the amount of Tabasco or substitute with a milder hot sauce. Ensure even cooking by turning the wings frequently during broiling, and consider using a thermometer to check that they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serving Suggestions
These wings are perfect as a game day snack or party appetizer. Serve them with celery sticks and a side of blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping. They pair beautifully with 'Barbecue Chicken With Chips' for a complete meal. Consider adding a refreshing salad or some crunchy vegetables to balance the heat.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Buffalo Bill's Wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the wings on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This helps maintain their crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bake the wings instead of broiling them?
Yes, you can bake the wings at 425°F for about 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are crispy and cooked through. This method allows for more even cooking and can give you a great texture without the need for a broiler.
What if I don't have Tabasco sauce?
If you don't have Tabasco on hand, you can substitute it with any other hot sauce that you prefer. Alternatively, you can mix cayenne pepper with melted margarine for a similar spicy flavor. Adjust the amount to suit your heat preference.
Can I make these wings in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the wings up to the broiling stage, and then cover and refrigerate them for a few hours or overnight. When ready to serve, simply broil them according to the instructions for a quick and easy appetizer.
