The Best Simple Buffalo Wings

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!
