Anyway, he came here to Florida when I was 5 years old with the recipe and talked my parents into investing in a restaurant .They ended up doing really well, no one in Florida had ever heard of a buffalo wing and they were a big hit. It was right on Mason Av., I'm sure LC knows where that is. Then two guys knocked on our door looking for Dannyboy and we haven't seen him since. My Parents couldn't handle working their regular jobs and running a restaurant at the same time so it eventually shut down.
Here's the recipe
10-15 wings
1⁄2 cup Louisiana hot sauce
1 stick melted butter
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetable oil
Deep fry the wings in vegetable oil in large pot untill golden brown and very crisp ( about 20 mins.). Mix hotsauce, butter, oregano and garlic powder in a stainless steel deep bowl. Remove wings a few at a time with a slotted spoon ( Don't worry about shaking the oil completely off, a little bit left on them is good) and toss in hotsauce mixture. Serve with blue cheese and celery or carrots.
You can adjust the butter to hot sauce ratio to your heat preference, but the oregano and garlic powder is what makes them so don't leave that out.
Thanks, sally. I may do that tomorrow. Louisiana hot sauce is my hot sauce of choice, so this recipe is perfect.
Sorry about your loss, though. Damn. I'm going to call them, "Dead Man's Real Buffalo Wings."
