The Original Wing of Buffalo

I'm off on Wednesday to head to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference (MARAC) meeting in Chautauqua, New York. Upon arriving in Buffalo (on the official airline of the Brave Astronaut, Southwest), I and a few colleagues will head to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo to sample the chicken wings that made Buffalo famous. They have been serving wings there since 1964. There may also Beef on Weck, but that's a different post.

The recipe is really, really hard - so, pay attention.

Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 lbs fresh chicken wings (12-16 wings)
  • 1/2 cup Original Anchor Bar Wing Sauce
If preferred, split wing at joint, pat dry. Deep fry for 10-12 minutes or bake at 425 degrees fro 45 minutes until completely cooked and crispy. Drain, put in bowl, add sauce and toss until wings are completely covered. Serve with Bleu cheese and celery.

For those without access to the Anchor Wing's bottled sauce, it's essentially melted margarine with enough Frank's Hot Sauce to make it as spicy as you'd like.

So, BA, have you loaded up the western New York artists on your iPod for the trip? You know: Rick James, the Goo Goo Dolls, Ani DiFranco, and Brian McKnight. And don't overlook the Jamestown connection with Natalie Merchant. A list can be found here.
