A buffalo wing is a certain type of chicken wing that has been prepared in a manner that was invented at a place, so legend has it, called the Anchor Bar, in Buffalo, New York. Your standard buffalo style wing is totally delicious. There is a way though, to grill wings outdoors and still get plenty of the "Buffalo Wing" taste without all the hassles (and odors) of deep frying them. First, we'll discuss how to make the classic deep fried style wing, then I'll present the quick and easy Grilled Buffalo Wing method.

Chicken Wings, Buffalo Style:

Wash and dry the wings
Cut them into thirds along the joints, discard the little tippy things
Deep fry in a fryer or big pan of hot oil, until done
Make wing sauce using Franks Red-Hot Sauce (or a comparable hot sauce) by melting one stick of butter in a saucepan and adding one bottle of hot sauce. Bring to a low boil. Remove from heat. Toss wings and hot hot sauce in a bowl until wings are coated.
Serve with celery sticks and cool ranch dressing or cream cheese dip on the side.

To make grilled buffalo wings, many of the steps are the same. I prefer to deal with bigger pieces when working on the grill, so I do not cut the wings into thirds. I cut off and discard the little tippy piece at the joint. I cook them on low, on a gas grill (for convenience purpose only, if you prefer charcoal, use it.) The rest is the same.

Chicken Wings, Grilled Buffalo Style:

Wash and dry the wings
Cut off the wing tips at the joint, and discard the tips.
Rub liberally with salt & pepper, or use a barbecue spice rub
Grill over medium low heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through, around 30 minutes or so.
Make wing sauce using Franks Red-Hot Sauce (or a comparable hot sauce) by melting one stick of butter in a saucepan and adding one bottle of hot sauce. Bring to a low boil. Remove from heat. Toss wings and hot hot-sauce in a bowl until wings are coated.
Serve with celery sticks and cool ranch dressing or cream cheese dip on the side.
