Steps:
- Combine hot sauce, butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and sugar; mix well in a pot and warm the sauce until butter is melted. Keep warm until ready to use.
- If the wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them.
- If they have not been clipped yet, clip the tips off, and separate at the joint.
- Wash them well in cool water. Season with salt, paprika and cayenne.
- Put on a paper towel covered rack/tray in the refrigerator overnight to air dry. ( This is critical if you want to match the texture of Taco Macs, especially if they were frozen).
- Oil should be about 375 degrees. Deep fry the wings in batches until just golden, about 10 to 15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown.
- Remove the wings from the oil to a paper towel covered pain to drain and put in a warm oven (200 degrees) while cooking the remaining wings. But don't let them sit too long, because you want to serve the wings hot.
- Put the wings into a large bowl with lid. Add the hot sauce. Put on the lid, then shake making sure to coat all the wings evenly. Serve any left over sauce on the side.
- Serve with Bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks. Don't forget the beer!

BUFFALO HOT WINGS-ANCHOR BAR STYLE
These are the best hot wings IMHO. I don't like my hands to be really sloppy and the trip through the oven after frying solves this. Add as much heat as you like. I prefer the flavor of Red Hot sauce, but use your favorite. Add some Cayenne pepper to kick it to your desired heat level. Serve with my blue cheese dressing. Serves one hungry wing-lover or up to 4.

OVEN-BAKED BUFFALO HOT WINGS (PALEO)
This is a great Buffalo Hot Wings recipe whether you are paleo or not. If you are really strict paleo, start with a paleo compliant hot sauce (I have two paleo compliant hot sauces to chose from on this site). If you aren't that picky, use Franks Red Hot Buffalo Sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven 250°F Line baking sheet with foil. Spray baking rack with Olive oil Pam and place in pan.
- Spray the chicken pieces with Olive oil Pam, then salt and pepper to taste. Season with garlic powder.
- In a large zip lock bag, place 1/4 cup of the baking powder and 1 tsp of cayenne pepper. Add half the chicken and toss until coated. Place on the cooking rack. Repeat with other half of chicken and remaining powder and cayenne.
- Bake coated chicken wings for 20 min at 250 F, then increase heat to 425 F and bake for 20 more minutes. Turn pieces over and bake for another 20 min or until golden brown and chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- If making your own buffalo sauce, heat prepared hot sauce (commercial or homemade) and butter in a sauce pan until well blended. Pour sauce in a large bowl. If using a commercially prepared buffalo sauce just pour it in a large bowl. I highly recommend my habanero mango sauce (also paleo compliant), but Franks Red Hot Buffalo Sauce is quite good and not terrible from a paleo point of view.
- Toss all the cooked chicken until evenly coated. Transfer to a platter and serve with your favorite sides.
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.

Steps:
- 1. Combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, Italian dressing, and chicken wings in a large, zip-top bag. Close bag and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the 1 teaspoon soy sauce and the hot pepper sauce. Turn off heat and reserve. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and pat dry. Cook the wings on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the chicken is well browned and no longer pink, 25 to 30 minutes. Place grilled wings in a large bowl. Pour butter sauce over wings; toss to mix well.
- 2. You can also do these in the oven. Bake at 400 for 40 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Wings: Select fresh, plump chicken wings with a good amount of meat. Avoid wings that are too small or have a lot of visible fat.
- Properly Clean and Trim the Wings: Remove any excess fat or skin from the wings. Use a sharp knife to cut off the wing tips and separate the drumette from the flat.
- Brine the Wings: Soaking the wings in a brine solution for at least 30 minutes helps enhance their flavor and keeps them moist during cooking.
- Use a High-Quality Hot Sauce: The hot sauce is the key ingredient in buffalo wings, so choose one that has a good balance of heat and flavor. You can use your favorite store-bought hot sauce or make your own homemade version.
- Properly Coat the Wings in Sauce: Toss the cooked wings in the hot sauce until they are evenly coated. You can also add melted butter or other desired ingredients to the sauce for extra richness and flavor.
