| Buffalo, New York on October 30, 1964. This | | | | - Freshly ground black pepper |
| easy appetizer recipe came about because of | | | | - Salt (if desired) |
| some hungry young men and the quick thinking of | | | | - 4 cups vegetable oil |
| a restaurant owner.The story is told that the | | | | - 4 Tablespoon butter or margarine (1/2 stick) |
| owner, Teressa Bellisimo had to be creative when | | | | - 5 Tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce |
| her son and his friends came into the restaurant | | | | - 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar |
| late one night and proclaimed to be very hungry | | | | - Blue cheese dressing or dip- celery sticks (cut |
| ("Feed us, Mom!" - sound familiar?). Thinking fast | | | | up for dipping)First, chop off the tip of each |
| on her feet, Teressa had an excess of chicken | | | | chicken wing, and discard it. Chop the wing in half |
| wings on hand and with a moment's inspiration, | | | | (cutting at the joint) to make 2 pieces. Next, grind |
| decided to fry them up and smother them in a | | | | and sprinkle on fresh black pepper (and salt if |
| spicy chile sauce she had created.Still "winging it", | | | | desired).Heat the oil over high heat in a deep skillet |
| she realized that the hot sauce on the chicken | | | | or deep-fat fryer until it starts to pop and sizzle |
| wings might be a little too hot, so she quickly put | | | | (usually around 400 degrees F). Then, add half the |
| some blue cheese dip into a bowl and had the | | | | chicken wings and cook until they're golden crisp, |
| boys dip the fried wings in it to cut the heat. | | | | stirring or shaking occasionally. When the wings |
| Then she added some cut up celery sticks for | | | | are done, remove them to drain on some paper |
| dipping into the blue cheese.Needless to say, the | | | | towels while cooking the remaining wings.Last |
| snack was an instant hit. The boys gobbled up the | | | | thing to do is, melt the butter or margarine over |
| chicken wings recipe that Teressa had brilliantly | | | | medium heat in a heavy saucepan, and add the |
| come up with on a moment's notice. How smart | | | | hot sauce and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Stir well |
