I love the Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wings because I love their sauce! The Original Hot Wings, before hot wings became exotic, are still delicious! I made them for years with melting a lot of butter, adding Tabasco, frying my wings and tossing! This is the simplest recipe ever! Chicken wings and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce! That easy!

Here’s an article from Time Magazine about the Buffalo Wing history. Here’s the link: https://time.com/3957370/buffalo-wings/. The story reads:

“A good sports bar needs three things: beer on tap, a television on the wall and a menu that offers Buffalo wings. Wings can be found at nearly every Super Bowl party and barbecue outing in the country, and they are the favored excuse of businessmen who want to visit Hooters. Yet the greasy, finger-staining bar-food staple is only 45 years old. The Buffalo wing was invented in 1964, which makes it younger than Demi Moore, Johnny Depp — and even Barack Obama. On Sept. 5, Buffalo, N.Y., will hold its fourth annual National Buffalo Wing Festival, a two-day celebration for all things wing. But how did the spicy snack come about? And why is it served with celery?

There are at least two different versions of the Buffalo wing’s origin, although they contain the same basic facts. The first plate of wings was served in 1964 at a family-owned establishment in Buffalo called the Anchor Bar. The wings were the brainchild of Teressa Bellissimo, who covered them in her own special sauce and served them with a side of blue cheese and celery because that’s what she had available. Except for the occasional naysayer who claims to be the true inventor, these facts are reasonably undisputed. The rest of the story is anybody’s guess.”

I serve these with just blue cheese dressing and celery sticks. You can make your own blue cheese or use your favorite. My favorite Blue Cheese dressing is Lite House Chunky Blue Cheese. I keep it on hand when I’m not making my own. It is really good. Here’s a link for that dressing: https://www.samsclub.com/p/litehouse-premium-blue-cheese-dressing-dip-32-fl-oz/prod22761221?sr=Lite+House+blue+cheese.
