It's time to host those "Wing It" Parties everyone!
I have talked quite a bit about sauces and biscuits & gravies lately which reminded me of a great menu for an indoor or outdoor party. What am I talking about? I'm talking about "Wing It Eating Parties"!! What is a "Wing It" party? Well it's a food party that's based on all types of chicken wings, hot wings and buffalo wings based on all types of flavors. The wing meat itself can be baked, deep fried, battered or grilled just like in the photo above.
Let's talk some facts first
A buffalo wing, hot wing or wing is a chicken wing section (drumette or flat) that is traditionally fried unbreaded and then coated in sauce. Classic Buffalo-style chicken wing sauce is composed of a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and butter. Buffalo wings are traditionally served with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.
How To Plan A Buffalo Wing, Chicken Wing, Hot Wing Party!
This is going to be very simple. It's your job as a host to fill the meal table with chicken wings, celery sticks and salad, biscuits, butter and honey with all the different kinds of sauces that you can think of.
- Plan A Wing-It Theme Party ~ Everyone crows about a "Wing It Party" at least that what my invitation said so why not host one. A wing it party is just that; it's a food party that's based on chicken wings in all kinds of flavors. You can choose to host a potluck style party where each guest brings a plate full of their favorite wings in their favorite wing sauce or you can set up a buffet style party where you provide all the sauces and toppings yourself.
- Popular Wing Flavors ~ hot buffafo, sweet chili, honey garlic, parmesan, parmesan garlic, hot sauce, barbecue, honey mustard, teriyaki, lemon pepper, blue cheese, sweet thai, pineapple, honey hoisin, are just a few of the choices.
- Shaker Toppings would be~ shakers full of spices, shaker full of herbs, shaker full of Parmesan cheese, shaker full of BBQ rub, shaker full of celery flakes and a shaker full of pepper flakes. Shakers add a special spark to the table that guests really really love.
- Don't forget the sides & dressing~ A wing it party wouldn't be complete if it didn't have the traditional raw veggies and dressing with it. Not only serve raw celery and carrots but why not serve bell pepper, broccoli and cauliflower too. All of these go great with salad dressings. The #1 dressing is ranch and blue cheese.
- Breads~ I don't know why but biscuits go great with chicken but at restaurants you don't usually get biscuits with it. Biscuits, butter and honey are fantastic flavor matches to chicken wings. Now easy bread sticks are a fantastic choice too. Bread sticks covered in oil and parmesan like you get at a pizza place is a good choice. And an odd choice is different jams and jellies. Try warmed up and melted preserves too. That super sweet fruity taste is great for the meat and for the bread.
- Provide Dessert~ Oh yes! Every party is expected to have dessert. It doesn't really matter what you go with.... cupcakes, cookies or pie to name a few and all will work just fine.
- Gift Giving & Door Prizes~ Decide if you want to play any games or provide any activities at your wing it party. You may just want to host a munch out where no games are played but tons of food is provided for a real wing it munch out. If you don't have games you may want to at least give a door prize to one lucky winner. It could be something as special as a bottle of homemade BBQ sauce to something as silly as a stuffed animal that looks like a chicken.
- Added Fun~ For added fun you could meet all your guests at the door in a chicken costume! Oh yeahhh I said it! Are you brave enough to do it? This has been done many times so don't think it hasn't. Don't forget to do the chicken dance. Speaking of chicken dance.... why not have all your guest do the chicken dance. It's fun for all ages.

A Sauce Preparation
Cayenne pepper hot sauce and melted butter or margarine are the basis of the sauce. Buffalo wing sauce can be made with a variable amount of heat/spiciness, with the names of these sauces generally corresponding to the level of heat, such as mild, medium, or hot. Typically, the wings are deep-fried (although they are sometimes grilled or baked). The wings are usually fried in oil until they reach close to a golden-brown color. They are then drained where they can either be placed in a bowl with sauce or even seasoned with salt and pepper. Following this, one covers the bowl tightly and shakes to coat the wings. As an alternative to waiting to coat the wings until after they are cooked, one can also put seasoning over the wings in a sealed bag and shake them until they are coated evenly. Afterwards, arrange the wings on a baking and wait until they are cook thoroughly. Wings can then be served dry with sauce on the side.
