Easy Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe

Buffalo chicken wings are a popular appetizer made from chicken wings that have been deep-fried and coated in a spicy sauce. The dish originated in Buffalo, New York in the 1960s, hence the name.

To make buffalo chicken wings, the wings are first seasoned with salt and pepper, then deep-fried until crispy. The sauce is made by mixing melted butter, hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings. The wings are then coated in the sauce and served hot with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.

Buffalo chicken wings are typically quite spicy, so they are often served with a cooling dip like blue cheese or ranch dressing to help balance out the heat. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer or as a main course served with a side of fries or a salad.

While the traditional buffalo sauce is quite simple, many variations have emerged over the years, with different levels of spiciness and added flavors like honey, garlic, or barbecue sauce.

Buffalo chicken wings are a popular appetizer made from chicken wings that have been deep-fried and coated in a spicy sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 Kilo chicken wings, split at the joint, tips removed

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter

• 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)

• 1 tbsp white vinegar

• 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

• Vegetable oil for frying

• For serving:

• Celery sticks

• Blue cheese dressing

Directions

• Mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 190°C (375°F).
• Carefully add the chicken wings to the hot oil and fry for 10-12 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. You may need to fry the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
• While the wings are frying, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the hot sauce, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and remove from the heat.
• Once the wings are done, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
• Pour the sauce over the wings in a large bowl and toss to coat evenly.
• Serve the wings hot with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
