How to make Pizza Pizza/Pizza Hut Chicken wings?!
Answers: We love their wings but can't always afford them so we were wondering if any one knows how to make them. Thanks
I promise you, you can make much tastier wings at home than you can get at Pizza Hut and save money at the same time.
Buy a bag of frozen chicken wings from your local supermarket. You can get 4-5 pounds (which is a lot of wings) for $7-$10.
First, defrost the wings, as it will be easier and safer too cook them that way. You can either defrost them in the microwave or run hot water over them for a few minutes until they are tender.
Next, decide if you want coated wings or naked wings. Coated wings are battered with a flour mixture, then fried; naked wings and fried without any batter. I personally like both (as I'm a wing nut), but my friends tend to like the coated wings a little better. To make a good coating, combine the following in a very large zip lock bag:
3/4 cup flour
5 tbsp black pepper
4 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp cayenne pepper
Put 3 lbs. defrosted wings in the bag and shake until they're coated. Let them sit in the fridge for about an hour.
Third, to fry the wings, you can use either a deep fryer or a deep pot. Add enough oil to cover several wings (I use either peanut oil or corn oil; corn oil is cheaper), and heat the oil to 400 degrees (you'll know it's ready when a sprinkle of water makes the oil sizzle and pop). Drop the wings SLOWLY, one by one, into the hot oil. Cook them until they float on top of the oil and are a golden brown; I like mine crispy on the outside, and that takes 10-15 minutes for a batch of 8-15 wings.
While the wings are cooking, make a sauce for them. Hot wings are made using a combination of butter/margerine and hot sauce (use Frank's Hot Sauce, it's the best by far). I also make honey BBQ wings by combining butter/margerine with some honey and BBQ sauce. Heat your sauces in a saucepan on the stove until butter is melted and mixed with the sauce. I don't follow a recipe; just use your best judgment and taste as you go.
Add the cooked wings to the sauce and coat throughly. Serve immediately with either ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing.
These are the best wings EVER . . . I take them to parties, and I get rave reviews.
Good luck with your wings!
When they're done, remove them from the oil
I like to cook my wings on the grill and baste them with a good buffalo sauce or bbq sauce. But if you insist on cooking them like pizza hut, you'll need a deep fryer. Just for fun, you can go to www.topsecretrecipes.com and look up recipes from all kinds of restaurants that you like. Pizza Hut is on there but only has a recipe for their stuffed crust pizza. The recipes are only $.79 and are really worth it, especially if you are having a dinner party or friends over. Hope this helps.
my cousin used to get very angry whenever my mother ordered wings at pizza hut (for like $5 for 6 of them or whatever ridiculous price it is) because he said they tasted exactly like frozen buffalo chicken wings that you could get from any discount store. he swore that you could go to aldi's or sav-a-lot (if you have those kind of stores) and get them. i don't remember if he said any specific brand.
i personally have had tyson's buffalo chicken wings and they're similar but not exactly the same as pizza hut. they're mildly spicy and worth buying - you can get a 5lb bag at wholesale places (like sam's club or costco) for about $14.
again, they're not exactly the same, so you might be better off trying to buy a generic frozen brand at a discount store - that's what my cousin swore by as the same thing.
Both Pizza Pizza and Pizza Hut Canada do theres in the oven, they are pre-cooked and use to run them through the ovens to heat them up as they have now deep fryers, then like the fried ones are tossed in the sauce and packed with the pizza, from the one I saw one time they have a slight coating so it could be a starch one to allow the sauce to adhere to the wing.
When I was a chef they were the last thing I would put on my menus, but as time went on I should have bought stock in the poultry companys, back in the 70's when I started out they were giving them away, now they are a expensive per pound as boneless chicken breasts.
