They wrote "Chinese five-spice" instead of "five Chinese spices"

>>19386886
bit glib, but yes I do agree

Honey doesn't belong on your basic buffalo wing.
Now if we were talking about a ghost pepper wing, I'd be okay with that.

>>19386893
Yeah I think that's fair. So like 10 years ago buffalo wings didn't exist in Australia, but now lots of places are offering buffalo wings and even buffalo chicken burgers (even Subway got on board and offers their buffalo chicken sub in Australia now). However, almost everywhere I get buffalo wings it's made by illiterate indonesian etc cooks who cannot fucking stand following the basic original recipe. 80% of the time it's Frank's but cut with honey and soy sauce. like ALL THE FUCKING TIME. also another smaller complaint is even the best b-lo wings are basically never served with blue cheese dressing, it's always ranch or æiœlo or random garlic mayo or

and now seeing this post from a page which is NOT Australian has me alarmed

>>19386884
Every place tries to make their wings stand out. Adding honey to buffalo sauce really isn't too crazy to me. Sour, spicy, sweet. Makes sense. If you want traditional buffalo wings just make your own though. As long as you're not breading them it's piss easy

>>19386907
it's not so much the difficulty in making them at home (I do have a good process that works for me) it's just the erosion of buffalo wing culture that I find disturbing :[

>>19386884
I'd try the honey buffalo, but that garlic parmesan wing looks fuckin amazing. I usually get those anyway

>>19386916
>that garlic parmesan wing looks fuckin amazing
I agree, I'm gonna try that soon, and that apricot thingo

>>19386916
Back at uni, there was a diner near campus that delivered and had the most unfairly unsung wings ever. Their garlic, parmesan and herb were fantastic. And that's coming from a guy who tends to strongly prefer spicy food.
I miss school. : (
Adulting sucks.

>>19386919
Maybe you're just bad at it. Got a wife and kid?

>>19386905
what is it with asians and always adding honey or even straight up sugar to their sauces? I realize it helps in some cases but it doesn't need to be in everything.

>>19386926
certainly not when it comes to buffalo wings. there's a pizza place in my particular suburb that was recently sold to a chinese family, and honestly the quality and freshness has remained fantastic but I swear to god they're sweetening the pizza and pasta sauce with honey or something. last time I had the bolognese it tasted like fucking hoisin with tomato. like they just can't leave shit alone

>>19386922
I live in sin with a set of tits but we're unmarried. I do have a son, however.
I own my house, have good credit, love my family and all the other marks of a proper adult but I just fucking miss having no responsibilities, no people who need me, being able to eat a fucking Cravecase of bacon and japaleenie-cheese White
Castles without turning into a fat fuck, not having to worry about everything all the time etc
I love my family, I really do, and I wouldn't trade them for the world, but I miss being a 20something retard, too.

>>19386926
One of the things I hate about my dad's cooking and he's not even /that/ kind of Asian IE not slanty-Asian (though my eyes are; go figure). I guess living in Indonesia for a decade made him do that, idfk.

>>19386905
For me I like half blue cheese dressing, with those thick blue cheese chunks, and half ranch. Goes perfect with buffalo chicken wings, buffalo chicken pizza or buffalo chicken calzones.

>>19386944
Fair. I miss my broke early twenties sometimes. Didn't care about anything except scrambling together money for rent, food, and beer. Now I'm planning a fucking paver patio

>>19386954
Usually when I make blue cheese dressing (because it's almost unpossible to buy) I just buy some nice blue cheese and chunk it up with a fork into some ranch and it works pretty well. Plus that way I at least also have some ranch dressing I can use for other stuff. I'll be fucked if I'm buying buttermilk etc to make blue cheese dressing properly, it'll all go to waste and I cannot fucking stand wasting food anymore.

>>19386954
blue chees w wings or go fuck your mother

>>19386926
the sweetness of the sugar balances out the bitterness from the soy sauce

I buy a big bag of chicken legs for 99c/lb then make giant buffalo and honey garlic legs.

I like wing flats better, but big ass drumsticks are 99c per pound and I'm poor.

>>19387076
THERE SHOULDN'T EVER BE FUCKING SOY SAUCE IN THE FIRST PLACE

>>19387096
>dumsticks
cons: it's about one chicken nugget worth of meat per drum
pros: it's the most delishes meat on the bird

I for one grill or roast drumsticks all the time, although I have never buffalo'd them. I think to get it right it would take a slightly different technique from wings but I'm definitely gonna figure it out

I use Louisiana hot sauce and olive oil because it's healthier than butter

>>19387112
why not Frank's tho

>>19387111
Dry them, then coat them with a light dusting of baking soda, bake for 250F for 30 mins, then finish at 425F until crispy outside and 160F internal. Toss in sauce. I will do the French style chicken "lollipop" and cut the knuckles off to save for stock making before cooking.

>>19387121
Louisiana is better

>>19387123
>baking soda
I've been hearing about this for wings but have been stubborn to try it, but I think you're right, on drums this is probably perfect.

Thanks anon I'm gonna try it this weekend

>>19386926
balances out sourness of vinegar and saltiness of soy

>>19387135
WHAT FUCKING SOY

>>19387136
we're talking about asian sauces you hyperventilating faggot. i didn't even look at the OP, don't care. replied to some dumb comment on page one without even skimming the catalog, guess what don't care

>>19386905
Australia KFC had zingers 15 years ago.

>>19387150
>The Zinger Burger was made famous by the fast food chain, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). This burger is actually a fried chicken sandwich made on the spicy side by including paprika and cayenne pepper in the chicken breading

there is nothing buffalo about a zinger anon

>>19387140
>we're talking about asian sauces
no we're not

>>19387198
who the fuck are you even talking to?

I like honey in Buffalo sauce but it's an addition, the base sauce is just the Frank's and butter. I've heard Worcestershire sauce is good in it but haven't tried it.
Garlic parm Buffalo sauce is where it's at.

>>19386944
Imagine living in a cardboard house and bragging about your goy score.
I thank God every day I was not born a mutt.

>>19386884
Buffalo is cayenne sauce, water, sugar, and butter. Honey is retarded because the flavour is too strong but as a substitution it somewhat works.

11years ago I could wings for 10cent a piece every weekend. Now a single wing is $1.25. Worst part most places stopped using tallow and now use seed oils.

That doesn't fix anything you retard

>>19388887
Ah shit, you know what I meant.

>>19387233
why are you asking me?

>>19387559

No. You shall suffer at least one version of wing that isn't candy you fat p o s

>>19387549
>she thinks owning a home and having a family is "bragging"
nobody loves you and you have no friends
also, lolpoverty

buffalo sauce is just supposed to be hot sauce and butter
wtf is wrong with people

Original Buffalo sauce is equal parts Frank's Red Hot and Margarine

>>19387123
>>19387130
It's baking powder, not baking soda. Do not use baking soda, it will be disgusting. Corn starch is better anyway. Baking powder has an off-putting taste

>>19389596
do you mean baking soda
i use roux, gelatin, or corn starch myself

>>19389596
>>19389616
I have baking powder and cawn starch. i have heard that BP makes it crispier but if CS is as good or better I'd probably rather use that

>>19389640
i was just thinking about thickening sauces. honestly forgot we were talking about wings.
i have a heretical take on wings.
boil them till the fat is leached out
remove and let steam dry
bake high temp super crispy cause skin is dry af no fat
toss in sauce
reduce boil water for chicken broth
suck mah dick it's perfect

>>19389660
not a terrible strategy. I mean, I do that with sausages and such and it works great.

Maybe I could boil, dry, dust with baking powder, crisp, and then sauce

I'm from Buffalo and I say KILL'M ALL

>>19386905
>buffalo chicken burgers

>>19390913
it's just fried chicken with buffalo sauce don't be such a pedantic autist

>>19386886
On most jars of the blend, it's normally labeled 'five spice powder' or 'Chinese five spice'.

>>19387491
My personal wing sauce is a variant on the basic buffalo, just with garlic added.

>>19389660
Better to steam the fat out as opposed to boiling them, keeps the meat from getting mushy.

>>19390992
when it comes to chicken mushy is actually not a terrible outcome, as often it gets dry and tuff. considering how much harder it is to steam rather than just boil, I'm inclined to try the boil and be just careful not to over boil

>>19391003
How is steaming hard? Just put a steamer basket in the bottom of a pot with a little bit of water, put the wings on it, lid up and voila!

>>19391010
for me that's most shit to buy, and also seems like a yucky cleanup †bh :[

>>19390992
it doesn't get mushy. i put frozen wings in a big pot of boiling water for ~15 minutes, let it reduce for hours to get the stock
the steam dry is highly effective, just take straight out of the water and put on a rack or tray whatever
they'll be perfectly dry in 10 minutes and if you're not in a rush let them sit out 30 minutes to cool the center before you bake to maximize tenderness
>>19391014
yeah fuck cleaning steamer baskets, plus i can't even fit a dozen on one. i can boil as many as i want

>>19390985
Do you use garlic powder or fresh?

we get it youre a purist
at the end of the day its just chicken with different sauces
im assuming you only eat regular cheeseburgers and have never tried a variation of a burger?
