Tasty...But added some

So this was really tasty. I added Franks Red Hot Sauce and some Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce...i used McCormick Hickory BBQ wing packet. These are delicious.... Try it out and then try your own interpretation!!!

Even though the marinade tasted good after everything was mixed together, when the wings were finished baking they were very bland. We ate three and threw the rest out. What a waste of time and money!




Great recipe with a little twist

I made these for Easter dinner. I was a little uneasy about making these due to the variety of comments, but I did. We all loved these. I did marinade them overnight and used Texas Pete and used the whole bottle of hot sauce, but it still did not make them spicy. Maybe you might want to try a hotter sauce for those who love HOT! I grilled them on grill instead of the oven; they were much better this way. I did also brush them lighly with BBQ sauce(Sweet Baby Rays). Took about 30 mins to grill. Try them this way. They were not sour, dry, or falling off the bone as some wrote. Try for yourself.




Great Wings!

Easy and a really enjoyable appetizer wing. As close to restaurant wings as you can find.




Perfect for teething infants

I was pretty much at the end of my rope at last weekends NASCAR party as my little one was teething and would not stop crying. I finally gave him one of these Buttermilk Wings (the little drumstick kind) and he finally calmed down! The wings are so soft and mild that they are the perfect pacifier for teething babies. Plus they are a good source of protein for them.




Sorry, this didn't work for us.

Followed the recipe to the letter. while the wings were tender, they just did not deliver the flavor I had expected.




Great recipe - with a few changes.

User: Joanne from Mesa, AZ    User Rating:
When I read the reviews for this recipe, I was a little worried. It seems like people either love or hate this recipe. Turns out this recipe is fantastic - at least the way that I made it. First off, I marinated the wings overnight. I don't know if this helped or not, but I'm going to say it did. Secondly, do not - I repeat - DO NOT bake these wings. They will turn out flabby and flavourless like many of the other reviewers said. I don't care what Sandra says, baking is not a good subsitute for grilling. Last of all, While I was grilling these wings, it didn't seem like much of the marinade was sticking to them. So to boost the flavour, I took equal amounts of Frank's Hot Sauce, and melted butter, mixed them, and brushed the wings with them during the last 10 minutes of grilling. All of these things combined made for some delicious wings that got gobbled up in less time than it took to cook them. They weren't "blow-your-head-off" spicy, just very flavourful with the perfect amount of kick to them.

Made a huge btach for the football games yesterday and they were the blandest tasting chicken wings I've ever eaten. Unless you're on some kind of special diet, you'll probably want to try a different recipe.

The first time they weren't that great so the second time I marinated the wings in blue chesse dressing and used the buttermilk as a dipping sauce. It was better, but my hubby asked me not to make either again.

Her other hot wing recipe has loads more taste. So does her teriyaki wing recipe, which isn't spicy but is incredibly delicious. I'd recommend them both over this one.

User: Jan from Boca Raton, FL    User Rating:
My family is splt on mild or hot wings. This recipe is perfect for both! The buttermilk and seasoning blend is tenderizing and just enough heat for the "mild" lovers. I drizzled a little extra "store bought" wing sauce (we used Ashanti Wing Sauce) on the ones for the "hot" lovers. I broiled my wings in the oven about 15 min. on each side on large sheet pans. So tender and easy to prepare. Everyone raved! Served with blue cheese and Waldorf slaw. A hit!!




SALTY!

I'd rate these wings somewhat below average in taste. Also, a note that this recipe does not make enough marinade to totally cover 4 pounds of wings.

Very bad texture
07/12/2006 at 12:10pm
User: Anonymous    User Rating:
I think marinating them overnight was too much since the next day the meat was very soft and mushy and not in a good way. We cooked 'em anyway, though. The flavor was good, but the texture was not -- mealy and soft. Next time I will only let them sit in the buttermilk for a few hours, as there is only a small amount of meat on each drummette.

Being kosher, I had to replace the buttermilk with soy milk combined with a little tofu based sour cream substitute. And as I couldn't find the seasoning packet with appropriate hechsher, I used my regular chili powder and added some cayenne and paprika. It didn't taste any funnier than anything else we make with the substitution of soy based products. Of course, we couldn't use the bleu cheese dip so I can't review that. I won't make this again, but then again, I rarely do repeat a Sandra Lee recipe.
