When I make my own, I always serve them as they come out of the deep fryer. I have been unable to find a way to hold them for long so that they don't lose their crispness. The texture of the skin is key to a good wing. Any idiot can make the sauce, and that's why BW3 fails miserably on my Wingometer.

I've made Buffalo wing sauce a few times at home & I've always used butter. Is it better with margarine? What makes is better? I've always been a subscriber to the "Butter Makes it Better" philosophy.

When doing take out, as in BBQ, the mantra should be "sauce on the side".

Could you please do me a favor and drop the pretense of your introductions? Just ask for opinions on whatever you are reviewing, or paring down to a "Top Ten" list. In other words, none of us need an excuse (cold weather/football season/war) to discuss a type of food. Although I admit to enjoying certain foods during particular seasons (Watermelon during Summer), I think most of the people on this forum can write about Chicken Wings during basketball season, too.

I think someone else said this in another toptenmen-started thread: "tough crowd"
