Nothing beats perfectly crispy chicken wings tossed in tangy buffalo sauce! Follow this simple recipe to make wings that are restaurant-quality right in your kitchen.
Ingredients
For the Wings:
• 2 lbs chicken wings
• Oil (for frying)
For the Buffalo Sauce:
• 1 cup hot sauce
• 1 stick unsalted butter
For Garnish:
• Chopped chives
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Chicken Wings
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. For the crispiest results, let them sit uncovered in the fridge overnight to dry out further.
Step 2: Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat oil to 375°F (190°C).
Step 3: Fry the Wings
Fry the chicken wings in small batches for about 4 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and fully cooked.
Ensure each wing reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 4: Make the Buffalo Sauce
While the wings are frying, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in the hot sauce until fully combined.
Step 5: Toss and Garnish
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and toss them in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of flavor and color.
Pro Tip:
Serve these wings with celery sticks and homemade blue cheese sauce for the ultimate snack or game-day treat!
