Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wings

Recipe Description

My Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wings recipe is the ultimate way to make buffalo wings! Being a Brit, I hadn’t come across authentic buffalo wings until I visited you guys over there in the States and realized what I had been missing! True buffalo wings are not breaded, but instead deep-fried until the skin becomes amazingly crispy. Then they’re coated in melted butter and hot pepper sauce, giving them a glossy sheen and hot pepper kick.

The sauce you use is down to you: if you’re not so good with heat, try a milder one, or ramp it up to super spicy if you can handle it! I serve my wings the traditional way, with a blue cheese dip, which takes the edge off the heat and tastes amazing next to the spicy chicken.

To make Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wings, you will need the following ingredients:

Awesome. Made these wings for a game night with my friends. Everyone loved them! I used a milder sauce since I'm not great with spice, but they were still packed with flavor. It's so simple to make, and I will definitely be using this recipe again!
