    OMG!! We love extra spicy wings, so spicy that our mouths burn and our nose waters! Well, we used hot sause from Fire on the Mountain, the best hot wing place in Portland, even better than TX. I used this recipe to fry the wings and the wings came out crunchy and better than restaurant wings!

    We found the perfect wing recipe! I will be trying these at special parties!

    This recipe is WAY TOO HOT!!!!! I made these for our Super Bowl feast and they were too hot to eat. My husband and I like spicy wings (we order "traditional" spicy buffalo wings when we have this dish out, so we're not exactly babies when it comes to hot food. Luckily we had six wings left over that I'd had to fry separately, so those weren't covered in the second cup of hot sauce by the time I realized my mistake. Those six wings were delicious, although they were basically just fried chicken. We had to throw the other 26 that were ruined by the hot sauce out. What a waste!! In all my years of cooking I've never been so off-put by a recipe to write a bad review, until now.

    I followed others' advice and did not toss the cooked wings with more hot sauce, as these babies can get too hot to enjoy. We ended up with wings that were not hot at all, but maybe the best fried chicken I've ever made. I had never done the egg wash, double flour dip routine before, but I certainly will from now on. If you do it this way, I think it's important to make sure your flour is well-seasoned. I used a good amount of kosher salt and black pepper, with some garlic powder and a pinch of paprika. Next time I will try the final hot sauce toss for real buffalo wings. Don't count on many leftovers!

    These wings were crunchy, juicy and flavorful - just the way I like them. The prep gets a little messy when you're doing the flour, egg, flour but totally worth it in the end. The breading comes out very crunchy and will hold its crunch for a while after tossing with the sauce. This recipe is also really easy to alter to your favorite flavor. My little kids can't eat the "hot" wings so I make them Honey BBQ wings by marinating in buttermilk & BBQ sauce and then tossing with Honey BBQ sauce at the end. I usually season the flour with salt & pepper for anything other than hot wings where I add the Cayenne. The kids love their mild version and my hubby and I love the hot ones! Another thing I really love about this recipe is the lack of specialty ingredients. I keep the ingredients on hand for other cooking I do and love that I don't have to run to the store for anything "odd" or that I won't use that often just to make these.

    I reduced the amount of hot sauce to 1/2 cup of Tapatio hot sauce. I also realized the longer you soak them in hot sauce the spicier they become. I wished they had a measurement for salt . Aside from that they are awsome. My mother in law wants the recipe.

    This will be my third year making this recipe and I have alway gotten great reviews from my family and friends. I usually only make it on Super Bowl Sunday. One of my friends is a huge wing fan and he loves them (he even asks to take some home with him. Its very easy to make and clean up is easy too.

    These were excellent, but HOT. I used Frank's Red Hot Sauce, traditional buffalo sauce. 1/2 my guests couldn't get enough - sweating and everything! The other 1/2 made me not dip them in the sauce after I fried them - then they really loved them! If you're doing a lot at a time (I did 60 it takes forever just using a pot to fry them in, as you can only do about 6 or so at a time.
