Tag: Five-Alarm Buffalo Wings

I love savory chicken wings. I love sweet chicken wings. And I love chicken wings that are a bit spicy. For me that usually means not super spicy. Emphasis on ‘a bit spicy’. Well, I made an exception to that rule with these Five-Alarm Buffalo wings. I’m not sure what possessed me to do it, but I woke up one morning and decided I was going to make the hottest wings I could stand so I did. And you know what? I was totally surprised by just how much I loved them!

As hot as these were, I fell in love with them. Once I made it through the first few bites I got sorta used to the heat. I think. That or maybe I was hallucinating at that point and just thought I everything was great and I was ok.

Tasty Spiciness

If you want to tame back the heat (thank you Frank’s RedHot!) on these five-alarm Buffalo wings just cut back on the habanero hot sauce. I went full-bore. Yeah, they were spicy and my eyes may have watered a bit but they were TASTY! Usually my argument against things super hot is that the spiciness hides the flavors. Not so on these wings. I’d make them again. And I’d have plenty of blue cheese or ranch dressing around for dipping…

Dippings

I usually put my dressing or wing dipping sauces in condiment cups. They’re the right size for wings. Usually. Not these though. I needed extra, so I got a bowl. Just something you might consider…

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!
