About Me

My photo
I grew up in Annapolis, the capital of MD, on the Chesapeake Bay and the Severn River where we always had fresh fish and seafood. I love all things food: cooking, eating, trying new recipes and sharing what I make with family and friends. I must say that my most favorite (I have many favorites) food is fish and mostly catfish. So, I'm always seeking catfish recipes frolm all olver. I like my cooking, my daughter, Wendy's, cooking and my son, Dan's dishes, as well. I'm not a food snob; in other words, I also enjoy OPC, (Other People's Cooking) also. I've got loads of interests: cats and dogs, taking photos, Giant pandas, chandeliers and the arts. I am a former teacher, personal chef and recovering lawyer turned information marketer. I love (watching) football, basketball, extreme sports like mountain/rock climbing, snowboarding, skiing and surfing. My own extreme sports are swimming, walking and talking. Not necessarily at the same time.

Super Bowl Defense Buffalo Wings

Everybody loves Buffalo wings at football game parties.  Here is a favorites.  I posted this before.  Use a heavy pan in which you can add a lot of oil. Just make sure to pat dry the wings and drop them carefully in the oil.

Ingredients:

Peanut or vegetable oil for deep frying
12-24 wing pieces (Whole wings cut in half or buy frozen "wingettes.") I love that word, "wingettes." :-)
4 Tbs margarine
1 Tb vinegar

5 Tbs hot sauce (I use Louisiana, Uncle Brutha's or whatever I have. You can use Tabasco also)
Garlic salt and pepper to taste        

Blue cheese dressing
Celery sticks


Directions:

Heat oil in skillet to about 375 degrees F. (190.5 degrees C.)   Add enough to cover wings-about an inch or two deep.  Sprinkle wings with garlic salt and pepper if you like.  


Drop thawed chicken wings gently into the hot oil, one batch at time.  Do not crowd.  Fry until golden. About 10-15 minutes depending on wing size.  Remove the wings from the oil and drain on a rack or paper towels.

While wings are cooking, melt margarine in a saucepan, add hot sauce and vinegar.  Stir and put in a large mixing bowl. Add the wings and toss them in the sauce.  Place in a bowl or platter

Serve with blue cheese dressing, celery sticks and lots of napkins.

My Version of Buffalo Chicken Wings

Here is one of my favorites for my version of Buffalo chicken wings. You can use a deep fryer if you have one. I don't, so I use a heavy sauce pan or my trusty cast-iron skillet, because it gets nice and hot. A Dutch oven also works. Anything you can put a quantity of oil in. Please note that I also don't use flour to coat the wings, so make sure to pat dry the wings and drop them carefully in the oil.


Ingredients:                                              

Peanut oil for deep frying
12-24 wing pieces (Whole wings cut in half or buy frozen "wingettes")

4 Tbs margarine
1 Tbs vinegar
* 5 Tbs hot sauce (I use Louisiana, Uncle Brutha's or whatever I have. You can use Tabasco also)
Garlic salt and pepper to taste
Blue cheese dressing
Celery sticks

Directions:

Heat oil in skillet to about 375 degrees F. (190.5 degrees C.) Add enough to cover wings-about an inch or two deep. Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper if you like. Drop thawed chicken wings gently into the hot oil, one batch at time. Do not crowd. Fry until golden brown. About 10-15 minutes depending on wing size. Remove the wings from the oil and drain on a rack or paper towels.

While wings are cooking, melt margarine in a saucepan, add hot sauce and vinegar. Stir and put in a large mixing bowl. Add the Buffalo chicken wings and toss in the sauce to coat each wing. Place in a bowl or platter.
Serve with blue cheese dressing, celery sticks and lot of napkins.

*If the wings are for children, start with a Tbs hot sauce. Serve the kids first, and then add more hot sauce to the bowl.
