Buffalo Wings are crispy chicken wings tossed in a fiery, tangy hot sauce—an iconic American appetizer perfect for game day, parties, or anytime you crave bold flavor. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks for the full experience.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (optional for sweetness)½ cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (optional for sweetness)

Directions

  • In a bowl, combine chicken pieces and buttermilk. Let soak 15–30 minutes (or refrigerate up to 4 hours).
  • In a shallow dish, whisk flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat 1–2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  • Working in batches, lift chicken pieces from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge in seasoned flour until fully coated.
  • Fry in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, 3–5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, and honey or brown sugar if using.
  • Toss hot chicken pieces in Buffalo sauce until coated.
  • Serve immediately with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, double-dip: flour, buttermilk again, then flour again.
  • You can bake instead: place breaded chicken on a greased rack and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes.
  • Adjust the hot sauce to make them milder or spicier.
