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.

¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
20 chicken wings
½ cup melted butter
½ cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)

AUTHENTIC BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS



Authentic Buffalo Chicken Wings image

This Buffalo wings recipe is easy to make at home for a great appetizer or main dish. Here's the secret to authentic Buffalo-style hot wings.

Provided by Kevin D. Weeks.

Categories     Appetizer     Snack     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 chicken wings (16 pieces)
1 quart oil ( canola, vegetable, or peanut )
2 tablespoons hot sauce (Frank's or Louisiana)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon distilled vinegar
Optional: brown sugar (to taste)
Optional: salt (to taste)
For Serving: blue cheese dressing , ranch dressing , or garlic parmesan dip

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Remove the tips from the wings and reserve for making chicken stock .
  • Cut the joint between the drumette and the flat portion of the wings. Pat the wings dry with paper towels-this will ensure they fry up crispy, and there will be less spatter from water hitting the hot oil.
  • Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pan to 375 F.
  • Meanwhile, in a small separate saucepan, combine the hot sauce, butter, and vinegar over low heat until the butter melts.
  • Taste the sauce to see if it's to your liking. If you'd like to reduce the heat of the sauce, feel free to add more butter, a little water, or some brown sugar. To increase the heat, add more hot sauce. Add salt if needed.
  • Fry the wings in 2 to 3 batches for 12 to 15 minutes per batch, or until crispy and cooked through. Give the oil time to reheat before frying the next batch to ensure all of the wings are crispy.
  • Toss the wings in a bowl with the warm sauce.
  • Serve with blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, or garlic Parmesan dip. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh chicken wings: Fresh wings will give you the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh wings, you can use frozen wings, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Dry the chicken wings thoroughly: Drying the wings will help them to crisp up in the oven. You can pat them dry with paper towels or let them air dry for a few minutes.
  • Use a good quality buffalo sauce: The buffalo sauce is the key to great wings, so be sure to use a good quality sauce. You can make your buffalo sauce or buy it pre-made.
  • Don't overcook the wings: Overcooked wings will be tough and dry. Cook the wings until they are cooked through, but still slightly juicy.
  • Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Blue cheese dressing is a classic choice, but you can also serve the wings with ranch dressing, honey mustard, or your favorite BBQ sauce.

Conclusion:

Buffalo wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. By following these tips, you can make the best buffalo wings at home. So next time you're looking for a tasty snack, give buffalo wings a try!
