MENU DESCRIPTION: “Here they are in all their lip-smacking, awardwinning<br />
glory: Buffalo, New York-style chicken wings spun in your favorite<br />
signature sauce.”<br />
Since Buffalo, New York was too far away, Jim Disbrow and Scott<br />
Lowery satisfied their overwhelming craving in 1981 by opening<br />
a spicy chicken wing restaurant close to home in Kent, Ohio.<br />
With signature sauces and a festive atmosphere, the chain has<br />
now evolved from a college campus sports bar with wings to<br />
a family restaurant with over 300 units. While frying chicken<br />
wings is no real secret—simply drop them in hot shortening for<br />
about 10 minutes—the delicious spicy sauces make the wings<br />
special. There are 12 varieties of sauce available to coat your<br />
crispy chicken parts at the chain, and three of the traditional hot<br />
sauces are cloned here. These sauces are very thick, almost like<br />
dressing or dip, so we’ll use an emulsifying technique that will ensure<br />
a creamy final product where the oil won’t separate from<br />
the other ingredients. These are clones for the most popular<br />
sauces: Spicy Garlic, Medium, and Hot. I’ve also added another<br />
big seller, Caribbean Jerk, to the list, followed by the cooking and<br />
coating technique for the wings. The first three sauce recipes<br />
might look the same at first glance, but each has slight variations.<br />
The bottom line is that you can make your sauce hotter or<br />
milder by adjusting the level of cayenne pepper. You can find<br />
Frank’s pepper sauce by the other hot sauces at the market. If<br />

you can’t find that brand, you can also use Crystal brand Louisiana<br />
hot sauce.<br />
SPICY GARLIC WING SAUCE<br />
1 cup Frank’s cayenne pepper<br />
sauce<br />
N cup vegetable oil<br />
1 teaspoon granulated sugar<br />
1 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
H teaspoon coarse ground black<br />
pepper<br />
H teaspoon cayenne pepper<br />
H teaspoon Worcestershire sauce<br />
1 egg yolk<br />
2 teaspoons water<br />
2 teaspoons cornstarch<br />
MEDIUM WING SAUCE<br />
1 cup Frank’s cayenne pepper<br />
sauce<br />
N cup vegetable oil<br />
1 teaspoon granulated sugar<br />
H teaspoon cayenne pepper<br />
H teaspoon garlic powder<br />
H teaspoon Worcestershire sauce<br />
J teaspoon coarse ground black<br />
pepper<br />
1 egg yolk<br />
2 teaspoons water<br />
2 teaspoons cornstarch<br />
HOT WING SAUCE<br />
1 cup Frank’s cayenne pepper<br />
sauce<br />
N cup vegetable oil<br />
1 teaspoon granulated sugar<br />
1H teaspoons cayenne pepper<br />
H teaspoon garlic powder<br />
H teaspoon Worcestershire sauce<br />
J teaspoon coarse ground black<br />
pepper<br />
1 egg yolk<br />
2 teaspoons water<br />
2 teaspoons cornstarch<br />
1. Combine all ingredients except egg yolk, water and cornstarch<br />
for the sauce of your choice in a small saucepan. Heat<br />
sauce over medium heat until boiling, then reduce heat and<br />
simmer for 5 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and allow<br />
it to cool, uncovered, for 10 minutes.<br />

2. While the sauce cools, vigorously whisk egg yolk with 2 teaspoons<br />
water in a medium bowl for about 2 minutes or until<br />
color is pale yellow. Whisk in cornstarch until dissolved.<br />
3. Drizzle the hot sauce mixture into the egg yolk mixture in a<br />
steady stream while rapidly whisking. This will create a<br />
thick, creamy emulsion that will prevent the oil from separating.<br />
Cover the sauce and chill it until it’s needed.<br />

CARIBBEAN JERK SAUCE<br />
The chain sells each of its 12 signature sauces in the restaurant because<br />
many of them work great as a baste or side sauce for a variety<br />
of home cooked masterpieces. This sauce is a favorite for<br />
that reason (ranking at the top of the list with Spicy Garlic as the<br />
chain’s best-seller), so I thought it would be a useful clone that<br />
doesn’t require you to fill up the fryer to make chicken wings. You<br />
can use this sauce on grilled chicken, pork, ribs, salmon or anything<br />
you can think of that would benefit from the sweet, sour<br />
and spicy flavors that <strong>com</strong>e from an island-style baste.<br />
3 tablespoons margarine<br />
2 tablespoons minced green onion<br />
(white and light green parts<br />
only)<br />
1 cup water<br />
I cup ketchup<br />
H cup plus 2 tablespoons dark<br />
brown sugar<br />
G cup apple cider vinegar<br />
2 tablespoons white vinegar<br />
2 tablespoons Frank’s cayenne<br />
pepper sauce<br />
2 teaspoons ground black pepper<br />
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce<br />
2 teaspoons lemon juice<br />
1H teaspoons cayenne pepper<br />
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes<br />
1 teaspoon cornstarch<br />
H teaspoon salt<br />
H teaspoon garlic powder<br />
H teaspoon dried thyme<br />
G teaspoon onion powder<br />
J teaspoon ground cloves<br />
J teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />
J teaspoon ground allspice<br />
J teaspoon rubbed sage<br />

1. Melt margarine over medium/low heat. Add minced green<br />
onions and cook for 5 minutes. You just want to sweat the<br />
onions to soften them up. You’re not looking to brown them.<br />
2. Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the remaining<br />
ingredients. Put the pan back on the stove and bring the mixture<br />
to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer<br />
for 45 minutes or until the sauce darkens and thickens. Cover<br />
sauce, then cool and chill until it’s needed.<br />
•MAKES 2 CUPS.<br />
<strong>WINGS</strong><br />
20 chicken wing pieces<br />
6 to 12 cups vegetable shortening<br />
ON THE SIDE<br />
celery sticks<br />
1. Heat shortening in your fryer to 350 degrees.<br />
2. Drop the wings into the shortening and fry for 10 to 12 minutes,<br />
or until the wings are turning light brown. Remove<br />
wings to a rack or paper towels to drain for 1 minute.<br />
3. Put the wings into a plastic container with a lid. Add G cup<br />
to N cup of your sauce of choice to the container, put the lid<br />
on and give it a good shake. Pour wings out onto a plate and<br />
add celery on the side. Oh, and get the napkins ready.<br />
