Buffalo Chicken

[Kpyna]

Buffalo chicken, often prepared as wings, tenders, or even nuggets, are pretty much one of the best options American cuisine has to offer. While they're often used in conjunction with 'merican sporting events like football, they also have plenty of use in sandwiches or served as is.

If you haven't tried buffalo chicken before, you should make them as soon as possible. For a simple way to make them, first cook your chicken part of choice. Make sure the chicken either has skin attached, or its fried. Melt a half of a cup of butter or so, and then add that and about a third a cup of your favorite cayenne hot sauce into a bowl you can use for mixing. Some people at this point add salt or other seasonings, but it's not really needed. Mix the chicken and sauce together, and voila - spicy buffalo chicken wings. Depending on which kind of hot sauce and how much you use is what makes them anywhere from mild spiciness to hot enough to force tears from your eyes.

If you make them too hot, you'd likely enjoy dousing them in Bleu cheese dressing or ranch dressing.

So, what are your opinions on buffalo chicken? How hot do you like them? Do you have any spices you would recommend when making them? Are you a wings person or a tenders person?

I'd give it a go, but it's got to do something special to get past Nando's.

Nah that was Ed Sheeran, and yeah Nando's is very overrated. Better off buying your own piri piri sauce and cooking all the other stuff yourself =]

I looked up Nandos and it seems like it's a similar thing. I actually got curious (it looks good) and it looks like while it is still hot wings, they're prepared with a bit more complexity. Also served in a different style. Now I really wanna try some, but the closest ones to me are in Maryland which is still like 4 hours away.

I'm not sure what's available in the UK, but my family loves to use Texas Pete's. I have friends that use Frank's Red Hot too. And my brother and I have tried it with Sriracha, and it was pretty good in my opinion, but it's not as good as the hot sauce. I blame the difference in consistentency.

Buffalo chicken (especially wings) is the nuts. One day I'll make it to the US and get the proper gear rather than the junk we get here. Though there's a pub in town that does buffalo wings and dipping them into the blue cheese dip and then the pepper sauce is like omg so amazing. I need to have them soon! Nandos isn't even in the same league.

Frank's Red Hot sauce is pretty good but I find Cholula to be a good choice too.

I really like food.

off for a cheeky nandos now 

I went to nandos before i'd heard of it and was so confused as to why all you could get was chicken and some form of potatoes??? i left and went somewhere else instead lol but i'd prob like it i guess

we should set up a uk/us trade liason cos goddamn if i dont want all ur varieties of chilli peppers you got over there like mexican food in the uk is a couple packets and a couple tins of horrid sauce and thats it. sigh.

we could give you british cuisine like "sprouts boiled in cabbage water for 10 hours"


really gotta get me some proper US supplies like claire says and try it out
cos altho it was a Weird Appropriation like i very much approved of the pulled pork i tried in the slowcooker once (can you believe how hard it is to get bone-in pork shoulder over here holy christ) and i think i really need to expand my American Food abilities




for real though we're thinking of growing our own chillis cos the one good mexican style product u could get here (pickled red jalapeños) have stopped bein made so with any luck we could try makin our own hot sauce????? id call it beth's blistered anus sauce and no-one would buy it


edit: the one American place i have tried was in Spain, strangley enough. it was this place called Fosters Hollywood and u could get a burger medium-rare ohhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHH my god it was so good
they legit dont do medium rare beef here cos of the mad cow


edit: this post doesn't make a lot of sense but im ill for the first time this winter so

[Clairefable]

they legit dont do medium rare beef here cos of the mad cow

OH MAN THE STRUGGLE. I like my steak to be still mooing on the plate but when you ask for rare steak they're like "lol ok medium? " and I'm like "No don't even waste the electricity heating the thing up I want it RAW" and they're still like "Ok one medium steak coming up!!"

Luckily I'm not a fussy eater so I still devour it but it's the principle!

You can definitely make your own hot sauce, yeah! Peppers are also really easy to grow, preserve well via freezing, and you can make salsa with them. Another cool pepper dish if you're gonna grow them is to cut them open, cook them, and then put cream cheese or cheese in them. You can fry them too and that's hella good too.

And you poor people live your lives without cooking your burgers rare? You guys do rare steaks, right? Is there such a dip in quality between burger and steak there?

is this that Poppers thing people keep talking about

(no not THOSE sorts of poppers)

basically in the uk there was this thing in the 90s where we had this big scare about a neurodegenaritive disease you might be able to catch from beef

and it led to what people literally called "The Beef War" in the media but basically the result of it was that every british person went off beef and no-one cooked their burgers anything outside of "charred lump of charcoal" cos they were all worried they'd get the BSE


as you can tell we british people aint got anything better to do than be paranoid and overreactive abotu everything in the agricultural sector, see also "foot and mouth disease"

edit: its ironic cos we're meant to have the better milk standards than the US yet we cant manage to keep beef in order at all
win some lose some i guess

Well, the menus say rare, but... D: Like Beth said, most people are too scared of meat that hasn't been incinerated. But I mean for Christ's sake, I'm Scottish and our most famous food is sheeps innards boiled in it's own stomach (also delicious btw), so I don't get why people are so squeamish about a little bit of pink meat. Mmmmmm rare steak.
