Buffalo Hot Chicken Bites & Super Hot Wings (Weber JJ)

[Old Dave]

This cook was done in my Weber Jumbo Joe with the Mini-Vortex SS charcoal ring and using  a hickory chunk for smoke.



The hot wings were breaded by going thru an egg wash and then rolled into a mixture containing flour, cornmeal, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

The wings were sauced several times with a mixture of Louisiana hot sauce, butter, Rooster, Tabasco, cayenne pepper, and honey.



Just off the kettle.



The Buffalo bites went thru the same wash and breading as above but with far less ground cayenne. The bites are for the wife and she doesn't do hot stuff!



The sauce used for this treat was Louisiana hot sauce, butter, and honey.



Looking good.





Sure made a fine lunch.

Wow! Totally killer! I'm hitting an Oakland A's tailgate today and had "just plain wings" on the menu, I might have to reconsider!

[THUNDERDOME]

Awesome! This looks like a recipe I need to jot down

[1buckie]

That seems like a bit of work, but man.....the finished pieces look great......that's another one for the tidbit file right there !!!


Thanks for the detailing !!!

Looks great! I have to do tenders for my wife too, she doesn't like wings!?

@Old Dave  those look great especially the buffalo bites. Are the buffalo bites boneless? If so, is it Brest or thighs? I honk my 3 year old girls would really like those.

[Old Dave]

Nate,

I cut up boneless skinless chicken breasts for this treat. A fellow could also use the boneless chicken thighs or maybe the chicken tenders but they are pretty thin and may not work as well.

Definitely going to try this.

For the folks that are interested in trying this recipe, I will give you the recipe I use for these two treats. This would be for about 20-25 wing pieces or about 30 buffalo bites the way I cut them.

Egg Wash

1/2 cup of milk
one large egg

Breading

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup corn meal
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper (this will give you a fairly hot wing)

Optional

1-1/2 additional tsp of the ground cayenne pepper (for the real chili-heads)

Prep the milk and egg wash and then the dry ingredients. Wings into the wash and then rolled in the dry coating. Fridge the wings for about 45 minutes for the coating to set.

Use your favorite hot wing sauce for this treat or you chili-heads might want to try mine.

1 cup Louisiana hot sauce
1/4 stick melted butter
1/8 cup Rooster
1/8 cup honey
2 TBL Tabasco
2 tsp ground cayenne pepper

Be careful with this sauce as it might be lethal for non chili-heads.
