BAKED BUFFALO WINGS
These easy to make hot wings are crispy without being fried. Always yummy to snack on. They only take 10 minutes for prep, but need to be refrigerated for about an hour so the flour coating is firm. You can add more cayenne or use a higher hot sauce to butter ratio if you like them spicier! Enjoy.

Hot wings got their start in Buffalo, New York, in a kitchen. Although there was no game on at the time, today spicy wings and cool sauces are traditional game-day fare. Cayenne, red sauce and spices keep these tangy buffalo chicken wings good and hot, just like the originals. -Nancy Chapman, Center Harbor, New Hampshire

Steps:
- Pat wings very dry with paper towels. Toss wings, oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl to coat.
- Melt butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Remove from heat, stir in hot sauce, and set aside in a warm place.
- Prepare a grill for two zones, medium and medium-high, or heat a grill pan over medium. Working in batches if necessary, grill wings over medium heat, turning occasionally, until skin is starting to brown and fat is rendering, about 12 minutes. Move wings to medium-high zone of grill or increase heat under grill pan to medium-high. Cook wings, moving to a cooler section of grill or reducing heat if they start to burn, and brushing with about 1/4 cup hot sauce mixture during last minute of cooking, until cooked through, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the flesh but not touching the bone registers 165°F, and skin is crisp and lightly charred, 5-10 minutes.
- Pour remaining sauce into a large bowl, add grilled wings, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

BUFFALO HOT CHICKEN WINGS OR TENDERS
This is adapted from a diabetic hot wings recipe that I came across while searching for something my husband would like. I've always wondered where the term "Buffalo hot wings" came from and I learned that the traditional hot sauce was created over 45 years in a Buffalo, New York pub! You can honor the Buffalo tradition by serving blue cheese dressing as your dipping sauce...use a low-fat or a fat-free dressing if you are trying to eat healthier. And as you know, the chihcken tenders have less fat than the wings. I hope you will try this recipe and let me know what you think!

Steps:
- Sprinkle the onion and garlic powders, salt and pepper on the chicken pieces.

1-HOUR BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE BY TASTY
Think of this as your classic go-to recipe the next time you're in the mood for buffalo chicken wings. But here's the twist-they're baked, not fried. To replicate that deep-fried texture, these wings are tossed with spices and baking powder before they go in the oven. They turn out super crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Be sure to look for aluminum-free baking powder to avoid a metallic taste in your wings.

BUFFALO CHICKEN HOT WINGS
These are the BEST hot wings. I particularly like using Frank's Louisiana Hot Sauce. Adding a tablespoon of ranch dressing to the butter sauce makes spicy ranch wings. DO NOT try making these in the oven. The wings come out soggy and the skin is rubbery.
