Buffalo wings
I just tried this the other night. The wife even loved it. And she hates beer altogether, let alone when I cook with it.
2-2.5 lbs of chicken wings
3/4 cup Franks Redhot sauce
1/2 cup of melted margarine
1/4 cup of beer (I used cheap canned beer, Extra gold lager from Coors)
black pepper to taste (I used about 1-1.5 tsp of fresh ground black pepper)
Preheat oven to 425. Bake wings 45 min-1 hour. Combine the rest of the ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for just a few minutes to reduce the sauce a bit. Less than five minutes thickened it up enough for me. Dip wings one at time into the sauce to coat then place wings into a deeper baking pan. Pour remaining sauce directly onto wings. Have plenty of napkins handy.
Sounds good, but why not use a better beer than crappy Coors?....I would think part of using beer in a recipe would be to enhance the flavor with the beer......
The reaon for using crappy beer is that I am laid-off at the present and really can't afford to get much better right now. And I also don't have any homebrew ready at the moment. The cheap beer did add a nice little sweetness to the wings though.
Is business slow for you?
I work in construction. I install and work on fire suppression systems. Things tend to slow down a bit during the winter. I should be back to work soon, but you tend to get a few weeks off around now.
I use a similar recipe when making hot wings and add cayenne pepper for a little more flavor and kick.
