Very Best Buffalo Wings

By Derrick Riches, About.com

These chicken wings take the classic appetizer to a new level with a marinade that keeps them moist and tender. These wings are also full of flavor.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 pounds chicken wings (about 24)
  • Marinade:
  • 1 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco (optional)
  • Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce:
  • 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons milk (about)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Combine marinade ingredients together and mix well. Place chicken wings in a large resealable bag. Pour marinade over top. Turn to coat and refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours.

For blue cheese sauce, combine blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic and Worcestershire cause in a bowl. Stir until smooth. Add enough milk to give the sauce the consistency of pancake batter. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat grill. Remove wings from marinade and reserve marinade. Place wings on hot grill over a low fire. Grill until done (about 20 minutes), brushing with reserved marinade halfway through the cooking time. Serve with blue cheese sauce and celery sticks.
