how to make Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe

You will season, bake or fry, then toss the wings in sauce. Follow the steps below and keep the sauce warm so the wings stay saucy.

Ingredients :

• 2 pounds chicken wings (split into drums and flats)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or more as needed)
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar (optional)
• Celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for serving

Directions :

1. Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Dry wings get crispier.
2. In a bowl, toss wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oil until covered.
3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
4. Spread wings on the rack in one layer. Bake for 35-45 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip once at half time.
5. While wings bake, heat the hot sauce and butter in a small pan on low. Stir until butter melts. Add vinegar if you like more tang.
6. When wings are done, put them in a clean bowl. Pour the warm sauce over wings and toss to coat well.
7. Serve right away with celery and your choice of dip.

(If you prefer frying: heat oil to 375°F and fry wings 8-10 minutes until crisp. Drain and toss in sauce.)
