The Real Deal Buffalo Wings

My most favorite wing sauce is from a place in Tuscaloosa Alabama, where I'm from, called Buffalo Phil's. Whenever I go home to visit I hit up some of my favorite restaurants and buy their sauces and Buffalo Phil's is no exception. There are times that I run out and have to make my own sauce. I do not have the recipe to Buffalo Phil's sauce but I did come across this one recently. This is supposedly the recipe from the Original Buffalo Wing sauce. They were conceived at the "Anchor Bar" in Buffalo, New York. Dominic Bellisimo was tending bar late one night at Anchor Bar in 1964 when a group of his friends arrived with a considerable appetite.

Dominic asked his mother Terresa who was working the kitchen to whip up something for his friends.
Not being totally enamored by the situation she decided on providing the gang something Different.
She proceeded to make History with her Wings.
The following is said to be a copy of her sauce. Which truthfully, is a guarded secret.

INGREDIENTS:

24 chicken wings and drummetts
SAUCE
6 Tbsp Louisianna hot sauce (this is the brand name)
1/2 stk margarine -- not butter
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1/8 tsp celery seed
1/8 to 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp   Worcestershiresauce
1 to 2 tsp   Tabasco sauce
dash of salt and pepper
ACCOMPANIMENTS
carrot and celery sticks
bleu cheese dressing or ranch

DIRECTIONS:

1)don't know whether she breaded the wings or dusted with flour or not. It is said she deep fried them. But if you don't have a deep fryer you can bake them in the oven @ 325 for 45-min -1hour. They come out of the oven great, but I still prefer to deep fry them.
2)For the Sauce place all sauce ingredients in small fry pan or pot and warm through and simmer on very low heat for 10 minutes stir some.
3)In large bowl add wings then pour sauce over and shake and combine well.
4)Serve with Carrot and Celery Sticks and Bleu Cheese or Ranch Dressing or both.
5)The wings can be placed in a crock pot on warm to keep warm for gatherings.
6)You can adjust the heat of the wings by adding more Cayenne for hotter and more maragarine for milder wings.
It is proclaimed that Frank and Terresa's Buffalo Wings are the "Best Wings In The World".
 So give this a try and tell me what you think. If you don't think its the best you can always order some Buffalo Phil's sauce online too!
