Chicken Wings? How about buffalo frog legs.

Its safe to say that most people you will meet in buffalo had tried a chicken wing in at least two or three different variants.It has become a staple that can be found in most places and cities.
Something so simple as a chicken wing doesn't leave much room for new ways of producing the dish. Besides different flavors there isn't much that can be done to make one chicken wing be significantly different than the other.

One major aspect of the food world is the constant need to renovate and invent new spins to dishes we all know. Food had always touched similar bases with art, where a meal is sometimes more than just a meal. Its an expression.

How do you express your ideas in something so simple such as a chicken wing?

Well my experience takes me to Shango's Bistro, which is located right off main st, near UB south.

Shango's is a small cajun bistro that doesn't look like it belongs to the area it is in. The quality of food, and prices are pretty high, but i do recommend on going there, as the dishes and specials are always superb.

One of the appetizers that is offered there is Frog legs which are cooked just like chicken wings.
Same traditional buffalo sauce (they actually use an habanero extract)

The taste?

Much better than chicken wings.
Frog legs are crispy, yet very tender sweet meat. Its something like a really good chicken with a fish flakiness, and a somewhat fishy flavor. Their very soft texture in the inside goes perfect with the crispy outside, and as far as the sweet meat, well there are many great combinations of sweet and sour with a hint of spice.

I cant remember the exact price of the dish, but if i remember right it was 8$ for 4 legs.

I also added a picture of a goose breast cooked medium rare i had there on a different occasion.
