Description

This buffalo wings recipe features crispy chicken wings coated in a tangy, spicy buffalo sauce made with hot sauce and butter. Perfectly balanced, they make a great appetizer or snack for any occasion.

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Chicken wings (split into flats and drums)
  • 1 cup Hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil (for greasing)
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup Blue cheese dressing (for dipping, optional)
  • 1/4 cup Celery sticks (for serving, optional)
Instructions
    Prep the Wings:
  1. If not already done, split the chicken wings into flats and drumettes.
  2. Pat the wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help them become crispy when cooked.
    3. Prepare the Sauce:
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
    4. Cook the Wings:
  4. Frying Method: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 375°F. Fry the wings in batches for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  5. Baking Method: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with olive oil. Arrange the wings on the sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through.
    6. Toss the Wings in Sauce:
  6. Once the wings are cooked, place them in a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over the top. Toss the wings to coat evenly in the sauce.
    7. Serve:
  7. Serve the buffalo wings with a side of blue cheese dressing and celery sticks, if desired.
