Love buffalo chicken wings, want a better recipe?

So when I make buffalo wings I simply spice up the chicken, bake or fry and toss in some room temp sauce such as Frank's. Here is the problem, when I go to restaurants and order wings they are never super runny and the sauce seems to be more of a thick coating. I have feeling what I'm missing is some type of breading or perhaps marination, but as much as I love the sauce itself, I hate that it just runs of the chicken! Any suggestions for how to make my sauce thicken and stick?

  1. Try mixing some cornflour with cold water and adding this to your marinade - this will act as a thickener.
  2. I order my buffalo wing sauce from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY - where Buffalo Wings were invented! It's awesome. I fry the chicken wings (with no flour or anything) and then just toss them in the sauce. Yum... I want some now lol.
  3. You can thicken the sauce with cornstarch....... There are other ways too, arrowroot is more expensive. If you can find it, in a Jewish market, potato starch is very good. And there are still other ways....... try reducing the sauce method, for instance.
  4. The classic buffalo wings are deep fried naked (no flour, seasoning, batter), then dipped in a mixture of cayenne pepper sauce and melted butter. Here is a link to the recipe... http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Original-Buffalo-Wings/Detail.aspx There are LOTS of recipes out there for HOT WINGS which is what you are describing. Here is a link to a few... http://allrecipes.com/Search/Recipes.aspx?WithTerm=hot+wings Bert
  5. The reason wing sauces in restaurants stick on the wings better is this: there's butter mixed in with the hot sauce and portion control-use 1/4 cup of sauce for 12 wings. they toss the wings in a big mixing bowl and then slide them or use tongs to put them on the plate
  6. Add melted butter to the franks. As the sauce cools, the butter starts to set/thicken and it sticks to your wings better. I make buffalo wings a few times a month. BTW: I have to buy Franks hot sauce by the half gallon!! LOL It's great stuff, isn't it?
