I am planning to make some buffalo wings for the new year for a party.

I hear that steaming the wings to prepare and then baking them to finish is a good technique.

To finish them I plan to use a mixture of Tabasco and butter / margarine and as a secret ingredient for one batch to add some chopped bacon. (Been watching a lot of Epic Meal Time)

Thoughts? Any foodies here that are willing to share some of their recipes for wings?

Goal is not to make atomic wings or wings of fire.

depends if you want them crunchy or baked flavor
you can coat them in flour, cayenne, salt, and pepper; deep fry them; then pour hot sauce over them
or you can steam or boil the wings; bake them; then coat them in a mixture of butter and hot sauce (microwave it)
the easiest way is to just bake the wings and coat them in a mixture of butter and hot sauce, they end up a little dry though. they're still pretty good

frank's red hot is better than tabasco, never tried bacon tho

I've heard that baking wings on high temp after steaming them produces the same crunchy outside the same as if you deep fried them, but I've never seen it, and I've never been impressed by other foods that claimed the same.

If it were me, I would deep fry them naked and then make a normal medium heat hot sauce just like you talked about. For a special batch I don't really see bacon adding much to it. The wings should already be crunchy and salty, so I would use garlic instead. It adds a different zing to the sauce that seems to compliment it well.

edit: I would also second the suggestion to use franks red hot as the base instead of tobasco.
