Also do you cook the wings first then coat in hot sauce or do you marinade in sauce first then cook? I did a search in the food network and found people cooked them both way. whats your opinion?

I use 3 parts franks hot sauce and 1 part butter, mmmmm wings. Crap, I'm on a diet!
I always coat after I pull them out of fryer, I've never heard of coating them before
If you don't want to make your own sauce hooters sauce is the best, it can be found in the ketchup isle of grocery stores and is better than alot of homemade sauces in my opinion

Jorgy, the 3 parts 1 part worked out fine,
1eyedfish ,I see what you mean about the vinegar, I added some brown sugar to it and it resolved that issue, if you want it hotter just add a dash of tabasco or cayenne.

RE: any buffalo wing reciepes out there?
i used to work as a cook at a BBQ restaurant out on the central coast of Calif. and the way we did them there was to just take frozen wings and deep fry them (no batter or anything) until they were done and then we would put them in a frying pan, add BBQ sauce and tabasco (to taste) and cook until well coated. I know this isn't the authentic way to do 'buffalo wings' but it was really good and easy....most recipes call for them to be fried (with a batter i think) and then coated with a butter and hot sauce mix...then baked for a little bit......too many steps and work IMHO but to each their own....
Hooter"™s Buffalo Chicken Wings
Menu Description: "Nearly world famous. Often imitated, hardly ever duplicated." Serves 3-5 as an appetizer.
Vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce or Frank's Red Hot Cayenne Cayenne Sauce (insert my own comment - I used Tabasco brand hot pepper sauce, not the green habanero sauce, though. I personally think all hot sauces are the same with very minor differences! -jw)
Dash ground pepper
Dash garlic powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 chicken wing pieces
On the side:
Bleu cheese dressing
Celery sticks
1. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F. You want just enough oil to cover the wings entirely - an inch or so deep at least.
2. Combine the butter, hot sauce, ground pepper and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients well-blended.
3. Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl.
4. If the wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them. Put the wings into a large bowl and sprinkle the flour mixture over them, coating each wing evenly. Put the wings in the refrigerator for 60 to 90 minutes. (This will help the breading to stick to the wings when fried.)
5. Put all the wings into the hot oil and fry them for 10 to 15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown.
6. Remove the wings from the oil to a paper towel to drain. But don't let them sit too long, because you want to serve the wings hot.
7. Quickly put the wings into a large bowl. Add the hot sauce and stir, coating all of the wings evenly. You could also use a large plastic container (such as Tupperware) with a lid for this. Put all the wings inside the container, add the sauce, put on the lid, then shake. Serve with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.
Hooter's Style Hot Wings
Thoroughly wash wings. Mix flour, salt. pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic together. The more cayenne pepper you add, the hotter the wings. Dredge the wings in the flour mixture.
Deep fry the wings in vegetable oil (about 350 degrees) Cook for approx 7 minutes or until fully done.
Butter Mixture (for approx 5 lb wings)
1 lb butter or margarine
1 qt Durkees Original( or Red Hot)Wing Sauce or any brand of choice (Crystals is also pretty good)
3 oz of cayenne pepper
Melt butter and add hot sauce and cayenne together. To add additional HEAT add more cayenne. Be carefull.
As as soon as your wings come out of the fryer, place in a colander with a bowl underneath. More your sauce mixture on the wings. The longer the sauce sits on your wings, the hotter your wings. After your have drained the sauce off your wings, place the remaining sauce from your bowl back in to the pan and simmer.
The Key to making good Hot Wings is: Sauce the wings immediately after removing from the oil, and keep your wing sauce simmering (not boiling).
We just use vinegar, habenjeros sauce, jamaican jerk-sauce, garlic powder, tomato sauce, and some lemon or orange juice. I am not sure on the measurements though. All you do is boil all of these together, marinate your meat in it(i suggest rabbit!) and then grill it up!

I always cook first then coat with whatever sauce I am using. When I bake them I season cook for 15 minutes a side, then coated and convect them until crispy.
I make my own, store bought or a combinations, just depends on the time I have. Got say not much better than a batch of screaming hot wings, well except almost any dish of wild game
