4 cup butter
4 cup hot sauce
2 tbsp cayenne
1 chicken wings
Directions
To cut down the heat, use 1 Tb Ground Red pepper plus 1 Tb cayenne.
Heat sauce as needed, for 10 minutes at 350, then dip wings into hot
sauce mix. You can double the sauce recipe if you like. Use as much
as you need to coat wings. It will keep indefinitely. Just shake the
jar and pour as much sauce as needed into a pan and reheat to dip
chicken wings. The chef who gave me the recipe makes it a gallon at a
time. He uses the cayenne-red pepper mix, I use all cayenne.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as bay, mint and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of recipe books which date from the 1300s : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of the time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created an explosion in manuscripts on food, some of which still exist in private libraries. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
