COOL NIGHTS - HOT BUFFALO WINGS

The last front to come through cooled the night air but the temp should still reach the mid 80's today and while the ocean will stay in the high 70's it is clean and flat. Last night was a zero moon so the tide at mid-day is very low for the beach strollers. If you have Holiday guests or just want to snack by yourself, here is a great recipe from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York
They invented Buffalo Wings and this is how they do it. First check out this section.

BUFFALO WINGS – Authentic from Buffalo , NY

Chicken wings – about 50 pieces
Peanut oil for frying – a couple of cups
Tabasco sauce – 2 TBL
White wine vinegar – 1 TBL
Butter – ¼ pound
Chili Stuff Chili Powder – 2 TBL
Black pepper – fresh ground
Kosher Salt
Take each full wing and cut away and discard the tips. Then cut each wing into 2 pieces at the joint.
Start with a large deep pan. Heat the oil to hot, around 400 degrees.
Put in about 1/3 to ½ of the wings and cook, while stirring until golden brown evenly.
Grind on some black pepper and sprinkle some kosher salt while chicken is cooking. When the wings are done remove them to a warm pot.
Repeat this step until all the wings are done.
Reduce the pan temp to Medium and melt in the butter. Add in the wings, chili powder, Tabasco sauce and vinegar. Stir and shake the wings around so they all get nicely coated.
When you pour out the wings into a bowl, pour over the leftover sauce on top.

Serve with blue cheese (ranch) dressing and celery sticks.
