Here is the original recipe created by Ms. Teresa Bellissimo, owner of
the Anchor Bar and Restaurant, in Buffalo, NY. It is taken from
Totally Hot! The Ultimate Hot Pepper Cookbook.

4 to 5 Lbs Chicken wings
           Freshly ground black pepper
           Salt (if desired)
     4 C   Vegetable Oil
     4 Tbs butter or margarine (1/2 stick)
     5 Tbs Louisiana-brand hot sauce or Tabasco sauce
     1 Tbs white wine vinegar

1. Chop off the tip of each chicken wing, and discard it. Chop the wing
   in half (cutting at the joint) to make 2 pieces. Grind on fresh black
   pepper and sprinkle with salt if desired.

2. Heat the oil over high heat in a deep skillet, Dutch oven, or deep-fat
   fryer until it starts to pop and sizzle (around 400 degrees F). Add
   half the chicken wings and cook until they're golden and crisp, 
   stirring or shaking occasionally. When done, remove them to drain on
   paper towels and cook the remaining wings.

3. Melt the butter or margarine over medium heat in a heavy saucepan, add 
   the hot sauce and the 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Stir well and remove from
   the flame immediately.

4. Place the chicken on a warm serving platter, pour the sauce on top, and
   serve
