RESTAURANT-STYLE BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS
If you are a lover spicy food and buffalo wings then you might want to give this recipe a try, you may of coarse double or triple this recipe but because of the spices and cayenne you will need to make each recipe in a separate bowl (10 wings in each bowl) the amount of cayenne may be adjusted to suit heat level, plan ahead the coated wings *must* be refrigerated 2 hours before frying, this is important so do not skip ;-) Serve the wings with a blue cheese dip see recipe#181552 or use your own favorite recipe

- For a healthier version of buffalo chicken wings, use whole wheat flour and honey instead of white flour and sugar.
