BUFFALO STYLE WINGS

It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal!  I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation.  It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog.  All you have to do is choose a recipe, make it and blog about it on the specified date.  The only rule is to keep it a secret!  If you are interested in learning more, or want to join the club, please visit the Secret recipe club website.
This month’s assignment was another very exciting one for me as I was lucky enough to be paired with Mary Anne and Mariel of Feast on the Cheap!  Mary Anne and Mariel define themselves as “a mother-daughter duo starring a professional caterer and a fledgling foodie”.  So you understand how happy I was to have the possibility to choose from one of the delicious recipes featured on their blog!  In the end, I made their Buffalo Chicken Wings as I have always been intrigued by the Buffalo wings I see everywhere in the blogosphere and this recipe did not call for any hot sauce (which I would not know where to find here in Sydney).  They were good, though I believe I overcooked them a little.  Also, these are not spicy… so feel free to increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add a little Tabasco to the marinade if you like hot wings.

Buffalo Style Wings

Buffalo style Wings: a recipe perfect for entertaining!

Course: Main

Cuisine: American

Prep Time: 6 hours

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 6 hours 45 minutes

Servings: 6

Author: Recipe adapted from Feast on the Cheap

Ingredients

• 1.8 kg – 4 lbs. chicken wings
• 1 ½ tablespoon cumin powder
• 1 ½ tablespoon paprika
• 1 ½ tablespoon allspice
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• ½ tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 4 tablespoon white or cider vinegar

Instructions

1. Combine the spices, vinegar and brown sugar in a big bowl.
2. Add the chicken wings and coat them well with the mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the wings for 4 to 6 hours.
3. Arrange the chicken wings on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper.
   
4. Broil them in a pre heated oven at 180°C – 355°F for 10 minutes, then turn the wings over and broil the second side 10 minutes. Continue turning and broiling in 5 minute increments, draining off the fat as you go, until the wings are golden and crispy.

Recipe Notes

I think I over cooked mine a bit as the original recipe did not say how hot the oven had to be and I broiled the wings at 200°C – 390°F. So, be careful and adjust the temperature and cooking time to your oven.
