I've had a hankerin' for some good Buffalo wings of late. I've tried a few sauce recipes, and a few bottled wing sauces, but none have had that really good flavor. By "good" I don't mean super HOT, as that, to me, is a hot wing, not a Buffalo wing. Best I've everh had was at a bar in upstate NY lake region, even better than ones I've had in Buffalo, NY. So, anyone got a really good Buffalo wing recipe they're willing to share?
I don't have much to offer in trade as most of the stuff I make is kinda straightforward.

OK Snoopy.Heres that recipe.It came out of a recipe book from Better homes and gardens.Don't know how good it is. 
Buffalo Wings
16 wings(about 3 lbs.)
1 1/2 cups chili sauce
3-4 Tbsp. of hot pepper sauce.
Blue cheese dip.
Cut off wing tips.Cut wings into two sections.Rinse and pat dry.Place chicken on broiler pan.Broil 4-5 in. away from heat about 10mins. till chicken is browned.Place in 3 1/2-4 qt. slow cooker.Combine chili sauce and hot sauce and pour over chicken.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5hrs. or on HIGH 2-2 1/2hrs.
This sounds like hot wings to me what with the hot sauce.
I don't see why you couldn't just omit it altogether or add just 1Tbsp. for flavor.Also why couldn't you add some cummin for flavor?And maybe a pinch of cinnamon.Just a pinch.Add some worchestershire too.
I have to be honest and say that I've never had any kind of these wings.Buffalo or hot.Just never got around to it.

Fried Green Tomatoes (Start to finish 30 minutes, serves 4 to 6)
*5 green tomatoes
*2 cups all-purpose flour
*1 tablespoon salt
*1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
*2 eggs
*1/4 cup milk
*3 cups bread crumbs
*1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
*2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (dried also works)
*Zest of 1 orange
*Vegetable oil for frying
Trim the ends off each tomato, then cut into slices about 1/2-inch thick. Arrange the tomatoes on a cooling rack and allow to stand 15 to 20 minutes (to drain, to help reduce the mush factor).
In a wide bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley and orange zest.
Heat about 1/2-inch oil in a wide, heavy skillet over a medium-high flame.
Dredge the tomato slices first through the flour, lightly coating both sides. Next, drag each floured slice through the egg-milk mixture, again covering both sides. Finally, place the slices in the bread crumbs, coating both sides evenly.
Fry the tomato slices two or three at a time, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. Return to the cooling rack to drain excess oil. Serve hot.

THANK YOU!!!
I've been looking for a recipe like this. I'm still holding out that most of my toms will "turn".We usually don't get frost till the end of the month or the middle of Oct. right?
Sounds good! yumm. (he,he,anything fried is good).

That Haddock receipe sounds pretty good, might have to try it.
WVD, I figured the fried green tomatoes would go over good, seems to be coming up on the season for the last fruit of the vine. I don't particularily like FGT's, find them too sour.

Want to try something really neat with this recipe.... eliminate the orange zest then:
After frying the tomatoes, layer them in a baking pan placing some mozzerella cheese and good tomato sauce between layers... or if you are like me some riccotta cheese and mozzerella with sauce... makes real neat casserole... kind of like eggplant parm without the eggplant.... you can also add crumbled fried italian sausage or ground beef.... of course serve with some good garlic bread...

I second that, allrecipes.com is phenomenal.....
Allrecipes is more of the average Joe or Miss Joe type website, so the recipes are more my style. And the reviews are great, more detailed then food networks std. star system. Also they have this really cool feature to size any recipe to the desired number of servings, adjusting all the ingredients accordingly. Very nifty and convenient for a bachelor like myself, lol!
I really like foodnetwork.com as well but the recipes tend to be lengthy and have hard to find ingredients.
But they still have some great recipes and ideas!

2am Drunken Breakfast
Bake some buttermilk biscuits. Pull one apart and put it on a plate. Cook eggs however you like best and slide 'em from the pan on top of the biscuits. Pour some of that white country gravy over top. Bake some of those frozen diced hash brown potato things and put them all around the sides. Great big glass of orange juice. Two Tylenol.
Carnivores, insert breakfast meats wherever you'd like.
It's just a big pile of carbs that taste GREAT when all you've had for the evening was liquid.
Warning: two drunks in the kitchen making this at 2am produces a HUGE mess, especially if a carnivore insists on making bacon. Grease everywhere!
Disclaimer: this recipe was inspired by Bob Evan's Country Biscuit Breakfast which appears less sloppy, with crumbled sausage and shredded cheddar cheese added.

Well, since it's the holiday season................
Cuervo Christmas Cookies
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila
Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit, Pick the frigging fruit off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Check the Jose Cuervo.

Cuervo Christmas Cookies
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila
Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup just in case.

Something quick and delish for dinner....
On the grill...
Slice up some squash or zucchini, onions, red bell pepper, fresh peaches in skins.
Put it all on a piece of aluminum foil and make it into a packet. Pour a little balsamic vinger salad dressing on it, and some garlic pepper. Put it on a covered grill for about half hour. Put some chicken on the grill too if you like.
Sooo good. The peaches give it a little sweet with the sour flavor. Real healthy too. Can add any variety of veggies that you like. Enjoy.
