The man with wings

I posted last month about Original Juan Batch #37, a wonderful and complex habanero hot sauce. I knew it would be too hot for hot wings, but I still wanted to do something different from my usual recipe (the one on the Frank’s Red Hot sauce bottle). When I was at Kroger tonight I picked up a bottle of Original Juan’s Batch #114, a jerk-style hot sauce which has a lower heat rating than its cousin. Just to be on the safe side, I altered the ratio of hot sauce to melted butter to moderate the heat.

The sauce was terrific, although I over-baked the wings a bit and they were a little dry. Even so, it was a fine Super Bowl supper.

  • It's kind of cute that you actually make your wings.

    My recipe involved:

    1. Calling Buffalo Wild Wings
    2. Being yelled at by the grumpy man who said "You DO know there's an hour and a half wait?"
    3. Saying "that's fine" and ordering anyway, to the accompaniment of a loud sigh from the grump(ier) man.
    4. Loading the dogs in the car, driving to Madison, having Le Husband run in and pick them up.
    5. Driving home.
  • I don't mind wings a little overdone. They sound delicious! I would've loved to get some wings from a local pub tonight, but there's no way I would wait that long or fight the crowds just to get in and out.
