Seems like every restaurant now has its own special chicken wing recipe. But who wants to go out all the time? Not when there are great recipes online at places like Primo Recipes.
I found a great buffalo wings recipe at the website Nook and Cranny, a site with great recipes and photos like the one here. Here’s an excerpt from their blog post:
First created in Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY, hence the name, authentic wings are deep fried then covered with a sauce made with butter/margarine and hot sauce. It’s generally agreed that Frank’s Red Hot is the most authentic sauce to use but stay away from the Frank’s bottled buffalo sauce since that kind has weird margarine mixed in. The ratio of hot sauce to butter you use depends on how hot you want your wings. I like my wings pretty hot so I like to use a 2:1 ratio of Frank’s to butter with a shakes of Tabasco. I chose to lightly flour then pan fry the wings slowly over moderate heat, the same method I used for the salt and pepper chicken wings. Purists will say that without the deep fryer, these can no longer be called buffalo wings but this method yields a nice crispy skin and uses much less fat.
You can read the rest of the recipe at Nook and Cranny. Or you can try one of these searches for:

Found a great recipe for roasted corn and avocado dip on The Little Kitchen that Could, a fun food blog. You’ll have to visit that site for the complete reicpe, but here’s an excerpt that’s sure to get you clicking:
If you would like to be a popular guest for any summer soiree, bring this dip along. I promise you will be a hit. The combination of sweet roasted corn, creamy avocado, plump tomatoes and fresh cilantro is undeniably wonderful. With just a few other ingredients, you will have a dip that is sure to please. I had this once in someone else’s home and knew it had to be in my cookbook.
I don’t even like to turn on the oven this time of year - we grill whenever possible, and make tons of salads. The summer is our time to try new, easy, no-cook foods, which makes all sorts of dips a great choice for parties. Here are few searches you can consider trying on Primo Recipes before you head out for a party on the neighbor’s patio:
