Buffalo sauce is just frank's red hot and butter. Every wing place in buffalo uses a variation of their own blend mixed with frank's. The original wings from anchor bar were a mix of frank's butter and herbs.

[@JM-oh1yr]

Buffalo wings are great. Y'all should also checkout the "Garbage Plate" from Rochester, NY

[@timlois]

You need that crisp. The really good ones, they use two different temperature oils. Start in 375F oil for 5 minutes, then switch to separate fryer and finish in 325F or 350F oil.

[@theangrybuffalosportsfan9971]

Any pizzeria I worked at would just cooked the wings a extra couple minutes to get crispy everyone in the comments has some long elaborate way to make the wings crispy😂

[@Zipgun66]

Since I live here in Buffalo the majority loves them crispy, myself, I just want them cooked thoroughly and saucy. There is no one spot for the best wings. Every corner of the city and surrounding areas has a go to place for wings. I absolutely love that I can go anywhere in the city and get great wings.

[@troyshilanski380]

I think kfc was was effed it all up. Got outta the navy in 1993 went to oklahoma and they were trying em out. Went downhill from there.

[@troyshilanski380]

And as you point out crispy. Thats the biggest difference from all the new fangled ones. I wont eat any wings anymore. The one place that made em the crispy way died because of wuhan.

[@johndrews206]

Was at Grovers the other night. After watching Triple Ds I'm addicted to hot garlic parm sauce

[@davidcosta2244]

Doesn't it have to be, since it's Buffalo NY where these wings were invented?

[@troyshilanski380]

@@davidcosta2244 werent invented lol, sure people been eating all of the chicken since they were invented. Just way back they started saving the wings for seperate sales for like 1 buck for 100 wings. It was scrap before that.

[@TaylorMadeThaGoat]

Someone mentioned why do they use Franks? Franks is the original buffalo sauce. It was what anchor bar used when the wings were invented

[@jerzeyguy71]

for the hotness of the spice, most places it is just a matter of more or less on the Margarine/ butter or a liquid butter product(whirl) the less you add, the hotter the wing.

[@christianrunfola9461]

The "bubble man" was a staple for over 30 years. In Allentown (a historic neighborhood filled with bars, shops, and victorian homes) his window would be open all summer with the bubbles blowing out 24/7. Sadly he passed away recently.

[@markmccollough1017]

Used to see him everyday for years when I lived on Park and Allen years ago.

[@theangrybuffalosportsfan9971]

It was historic until the 🌈 took claim to it

[@johndrews206]

1:09. 1. Blue cheese. 2. Saucy 3. Taste 4. Heat

[@steven95N]

If youdont ask to "Fry them hard", buffalo wings are always going to be slightly soggy. That delicious acidic ass sauce is absorbed into the skin almost immediately. Because the wings arent breaded, they cook faster so that can lead to a lot of hits and misses, especially outside Western, NY. There legit only a 30 second - 1 minute between regular wings and delicious, crispy, yet saucy Buffalo wings. No one has a problem doing it.

[@adamplez2498]

Side note. In Western New York, if you use ranch in place of blue cheese, thats considered a mortal sin. Cheers from Rochester NY.

[@Hugovika]

hahaha like Joey Diaz says "blue cheese with wings or go f*** you mother"

[@BrLoc]

And yet, at the end of the day it still comes down to your own personal preference in wings and sauce. And let's be honest, the environment is also important. Football, beer, tv's, loud people.

[@29_lets_go]

This made me want wings and luckily I live right next to a Duffs lol. If you're ever in the area hopefully you can do a Buffalo experience and get some of the food, see the sites, and go to an awesome Buffalo Bills tailgate/football game.

[@jedipool]

Aiden's impression of Daz at the beginning of the video is amazing. Lol. I could watch a while video of just that. 😂😂

[@rmlrl1971]

If you are using Frank's mixed with butter, the way to make them hotter is to use less butter.

[@lisas572]

My daughter's family lives in Buffalo NY. I buy the frozen wings in the grocery store and season them. Then I just bake them in the oven. Buffalo NY is right next door to Niagara Falls.

[@troyshilanski380]

Kudos noticing the Buffalo Bills sir!

[@d2ndborn]

We have some really good local places with their own sauces,

[@tarheelamos137]

The fact they didnt even go to the actual best wing place in Buffalo/America is crazy, which is Wingnutz Buffalo

[@EagleFang74]

It’s law that every son can do a spot on impression of his dad.😂😂

[@brucegreenberg7573]

Guys, enjoyed your reactions. I was born & grew up in Buffalo, also known as the Queen City of the Great Lakes. Buffalo sits on the shores of Lake Erie and on windy days you can often feel the spray from nearby Niagara Falls. Fun fact: the site was first explored by the French, which called it Beau Fleuve : beautiful river after the Niagara river. Also, Buffalo was the site of a US presidential assassination in 1901, when President William McKinley was shot at the Pan American Exposition.

[@honeyfrissonhoneyfrisson6994]

No you cannot....no you cannot feel the spray from the falls. The falls is a 25 minute drive away. Fun fact: this guy is full of shit.

[@katiebeth8343]

Buffalonian here!! As a born and raised and spending over 40 years in restaurant business I can confirm The Gate has the best wings in town. Where we always take out of towners when visiting. But wings are great no matter where they come from

[@hucth]

Since your going to the South in the states, you will probably find different flavors when it comes to Buffalo sauce. Frank's is not the go to hot sauce in the south. Its usually Texas Pete or Louisiana Hot sauce. You should definitely try these hot sauces on there own and see how the compare to Franks

[@connororeally9119]

a pint of sam Adams with buffalo wings watching the game, with no-one talking to me. couldnt be more relatable

[@unklebacon44]

Buffalonian here. Anchor Bar and Duffs are touristy, but it's hard to get bad wings here. Most bars with a kitchen and every pizzeria will leave your wing craving satisfied.

[@japcar84]

Don't just use Frank's only as a sauce by itself. Melt good butter and mix it with Frank's one a one-part per one-part ratio.

[@imbateman]

Yep, agreed. Also keep in mind you don’t have to use Franks. That’s what’s in the original Buffalo sauce, but as I previously posted, Louisiana Hot Sauce makes a killer wing sauce as well. It’s spicier and I think it has a better flavor.

[@TheRemixstress]

*Actually, John Young is the inventor of Buffalo wings.* ✅✅💯💯

[@kensmith2829]

No..he wasn't. His wing is entirely different.

[@TheRemixstress]

@@kensmith2829 Guess "they'll" say they created Nashville Hot Chicken too....LMFAO

I lived in buffalo for 6 years, that guy is always up there blowing bubbles in Allentown. Kind of a local celebrity

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

Wings HAVE to be crispy. Otherwise they can be rubbery and gross. If im going somewhere where i know they barely cook them, i ask for them well done. They HAVE to be crispy lol. Also garlic parmesean wings over buffalo sauce every time haha

[@ftomaka]

I was born and grew up in Buffalo. Most of my family still livesthereso I visit often. Duffs is definitely the best ANYWHERE! When you enter, your eyes will start burning from all of the spice in the air. lol

[@2WarriorJay8]

I'm from there and they are right. Duff's is the place for the best wings. And go to Ted's for your hot dogs!

[@unklebacon44]

Omg, first interview is my buddy Dave, hahahaha

[@Zrico91]

This was a perfect reaction. I made wings for dinner tonight. I found a way to make them nice and crispy in the oven, so theyre healthier too (who really cares if wings are healthy). My go to is always buffalo sauce. I always keep a large bottle of franks in the fridge, but for my wings i use a new brand of buffalo sauce called Kinder's. Tonight i also tossed a couple in tai bbq and sweet chilli, but most were buffalo.

[@markmccollough1017]

My favorite at home is to marinate wings in Franks in ziplock bags just long enough to get the wings to room temp then throw them on the grill and cook them indirectly for about an hour and a half while rotating around the grill every 15-20 minutes and flipping them after the second rotation and brushing them in Franks each time. When I first put the wings on the grill, and again after I flip them, I sprinkle the wings with Allepo pepper. Those smokey Allepo pepper flakes layered into the Franks and slow cooked on the grill make for some amazing wings. It's not as labor intensive as it sounds if you perfect your method.

[@Zrico91]

@@markmccollough1017 yumm!

[@yvonnewakefield7748]

My method for wings involves fresh (never frozen) wings, left whole (not cut to drums vs flats), and left in the fridge uncovered to dry the skin. I do use an air-fryer, oven-type rather than basket.360 degrees for 20-23 minutes. Try it sometime and let me know?!

[@markmccollough1017]

Having lived in Buffalo for over 20 years I agree with the girls on this one. Duffs and Gabriel's Gate were always 2 of my favorites. Barbill is also very good, but slightly overhyped because it's some Bills players favorite wing spot, however their Beef on Weck is amazing as advertised. 911 Tavern is an underrated place as well with great wings. I hate to say it but you likely won't find many great wings down south, at least not traditional Buffalo style wings. I lived in Buffalo for a long time and also traveled to many areas of the country and good wings are hard to find. Every place you go has wings, but very few do them well. Usually small, soggy, and overpriced. When we have client in town they alway want wings because their places at home are 2nd tier in comparison. You probably will find some places with some great BBQ and smoked wings down South. Anything they do on a grill or smoker is usually great, wings included.

[@bamachine]

Yeah, we are more known for smoked chicken in my area(Alabama). About the best Buffalo style you can get around here is some hole in the wall spots, some are actually bbq joints where they smoke the wings then drown them in Buffalo sauce. So not technically the same but still good.

[@SntMichael716]

BarBill is more famous for their other flavors like Cajun Honey Butter BBQ Which is my favorite wing in the city. Not so much their basic Medium. Im a big fan of Gabriels Gate and Nine Eleven Tavern for medium. another slept on place is Sonny Reds in Lackawanna. Great wings there.

[@markmccollough1017]

@@SntMichael716Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to grab an order of honey Cajun BBQ. Never tried those but they sound great. Even their regular medium, while not my favorite, are still amazing, and still better than 99.999999% of wings on the planet.

[@markmccollough1017]

@@bamachine That's been my experience when traveling. Just because they aren't the traditional Buffalo style that I know and love, doesn't mean they are bad, just good in their own unique way.

[@williambanks2223]

I fry my wings, then dip them in my sauce(Frank's Red Hot and butter, maybe a little lemon juice for heat), and then I bake them for about 30 minutes. They get crispy and the sauce permeates the wing.

[@kevinprzy4539]

lemon juice for heat? it's bitter but not hot unless you mean acid reflux heat then yeah lemon will do it lmao

[@troyshilanski380]

outback steak house kookaburra wings are some of the most underrated wings ive ever had. buffalo wings are also my favorite food, i have my favorite spots that are local and not chain resturants and of course better but....... i gotta say outbacks kookaburra are damn nice for a chain place and a dry rub wing. i prefer saucy though

Damn it!!! now I gotta get some wings tonight-_- I’ll watch this later after work when I’m covered in Buffalo sauce, BBQ sauce and ranch… RIP Sophie, we miss you

[@markmccollough1017]

As a Buffalonian, we can't abide ranch usage on wings, only on salads and vegetable dip. lol The funny thing is that most people I know, from out, who preferred ranch to blue cheese, change their minds when they had some of the good local blue cheese dips. Blue cheese quality by brand can vary greatly, and understandably sub standard blue cheese can turn a person off that real quick.

[@theangrybuffalosportsfan9971]

Ranch? 😂 that would be like using mayo on a fish fry instead of tartar sauce stop cheating yourself and find a good quality dipping blue cheese

You guys made me order buffalo wings at 2pm. Its been a hot minute since I had some good ones.

[@imbateman]

When I make them at home I sauce them one wing at a time right before eating it. That way the skin stays super crispy. When you toss them all in sauce at the same time the skin turns rubbery half way through eating. Also, I make my sauce with Louisiana hot sauce instead of Franks. For me the flavor is better and it’s got a lot more of a kick.

[@armpit_farts7327]

That really shouldnt happen if they are properly deep fried. Oven, I guess i could see happening, i dont usually make wings at home, usually get them from a place that has a deep fryer and is gonna make them to order hahaha. Also, I dont think ive ever seen wings stick around for more than 5 mins! How much sauce you putting on?! lmao.

[@imbateman]

@@armpit_farts7327 I deep fry them or use an air fryer. I like the skin super crispy and super saucy. I’m not sure what kind of magic oil or air fryer you use but any crispy thing I’ve had that’s covered in sauce becomes soggy pretty quickly. Wings, fries, nachos, etc.

[@jschock1607]

I live in western NY, specifically rochester which is about 60 miles from Buffalo. We have always had fantastic wings, probably due to Buffalo. You can't go to any local bar and not have good wings. You leave western NY, the wings are not that good, especially if its chain restaurants. Blue cheese is a must.

Gotta respectfully disagree. The chicken skin should 100% be crispy. That’s the entire point of deep frying them.

I used to live in Buffalo and have been a loyal Bills/Sabres fan for life despite that they've been terrible majority of the time. I can agree that Duff's is the best. I tried Gabriel's gate because of reviews but it was mediocre. Wings came in random sizes, mostly small, and not very much meat for the price. It's an easy skip honestly and the taste isn't different. Anchor bar is better than GG imo but Duff's is the best. Something about their sauce is just too good and the amount of wings/size is great
