One of the dishes that my friends love to eat that I cook for them is buffalo cooking like chicken wings. But aside from this name, the dish can also be called as buffalo wing, a hot wing, or even chicken tenders. I have made the dish numerous times before and have been told that I make such a great dish. Honestly, I only made the recipe on my own based on my observation of the dishes that I have tasted before.
For those who don’t know what buffalo wing is, it is a chicken wing section which is either flat or a drumette. Traditionally, the chicken is fried without any breading and is then coated in delicious sauce. The classic buffalo style chicken wing sauce is made up of butter and a vinegar based cayenne pepper hot sauce. Since this dish is spicy, it is traditionally served with a siding of celery sticks and some blue cheese dressing.
The history of buffalo cooking came from its origin which is Buffalo, New York. Actually, the local residents of this place call these dishes as wings or chicken wings. It is in the other parts of the planet that the dish is called Buffalo wings.
If you want to make buffalo wings, you have to be careful when preparing it. This is because if you are not careful, you might end up making a very spicy dish that your guests will not be able to enjoy. And this is not good especially if you have kids around to taste the dish.
When preparing chicken wings, you have to pay special attention to the sauce. This is because you can easily fry the chicken even if you don’t have any experience doing it. But the sauce will need special care as the flavor of the dish really comes from it.
The basic ingredients of the sauce are cayenne pepper hot sauce and either melted butter or margarine. The sauce is usually given a name which people will be able to associate whether or not these dishes are either spicy or really, really hot.
Although the traditional method for cooking the dish is deep frying, buffalo wings can also be baked or grilled. After which, they are drained and placed on a bowl and covered with sauce. The dish is then covered and shaken until each piece has been coated evenly.
The level of spiciness of the sauce can be measured in order to suit anyone’s preference. This is done by lowering the amount of spice and heat.

The calzone and tender recipes were especially interesting.
