Wing King's BBQ Buffalo Wings

This is a recipe from Drew Cersa (the Wing King) who recently appeared on the Live with Regis and Kelly show, in a cooking segment that featured appetizer recipes for Super Bowl Sunday get-togethers. This recipe took top honors in a Bobby Flay ThrowDown! competition. It sounded so scrumptious and perfect for a Super Bowl gathering, and I thought others might be interested in preparing it for their Super Bowl festivities.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 50
• Yields: 50 Buffalo Wings

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons butter
• 1  large shallot
• 2  garlic cloves
• 2  ounces dark beer
• 1  cup chili sauce
• 1  cup barbecue sauce
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ancho chilies
• 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup honey
• 4  ounces cayenne pepper sauce
• 50  chicken wings

Directions

1. Chop up and sauté the shallot & garlic cloves with the butter.
2. Add the dark beer, chili sauce, and BBQ sauce, and stir for 1 minute.
3. Add the ancho chili peppers, brown sugar, honey, and cayenne pepper sauce, and stir for 2 minutes.
4. While you are creating the sauce, drop 50 chicken wings (the amount you drop in at one time will depend on the size of your fryer) in a deep fryer until fully cooked. (The wings can also be grilled or roasted instead of deep fried.).
5. Once wings are fully cooked, add the wings to a large mixing bowl. Add the sauce, and flip gently to be sure the wings are thoroughly coated with the sauce.
6. Serve with a side of blue cheese dressing.
