Here’s a classic Buffalo Wing recipe — spicy, tangy, and perfect for game day or snacks 🍗🔥
Buffalo Wings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for baking or frying)
Buffalo Sauce
- ½ cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (optional for sweetness)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Prepare Wings
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking.
- Pat wings dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake method: Toss wings with oil, spread on a baking sheet, and bake 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy.
Or fry method: Deep-fry wings at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Make Buffalo Sauce
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
- Stir in hot sauce, honey (if using), and garlic powder. Mix until smooth.
Toss Wings
- Place cooked wings in a large bowl and pour sauce over them. Toss to coat evenly.
Serve
- Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing.
Tips & Variations
- Spicy variation: Add cayenne pepper to the sauce
- Mild version: Reduce hot sauce or add more butter
- Air fryer option: Cook wings at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway
If you want, I can also give a crispy oven-baked version with extra crunchy skin or a sweet-heat honey buffalo wing recipe.
