Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe
Learn how to make awesome Hot Wings.
 It's the most popular way to make chicken wings. This Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe lightly coats the wings with a pepper, salt and corn starch mixture which gives a nice crunchy coating without all the heavy breading that can make the wings soggy when the sauce is added.
Keeping the first batch of Buffalo wings in a 200 degree oven while the rest of them are frying will help keep them warm before serving.
If you want to make these ahead of time they can stay warm in the oven for up to 1 1/2 hours at 200 degrees. When you are ready to serve, toss them in the hot wings sauce, serve them to your friends and family and watch them disappear.
Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe
Ingredients:
3 pounds Whole Chicken Wings (defrosted)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup hot sauce (like Texas Pete)
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon table salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 - 2 quarts peanut or vegetable oil
Preparation:
Cut the wings into separate pieces (see photo below)
For the Sauce:
Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat.
Whisk in hot sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar until combined.
Remove from heat and set aside.
For the Wings:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Line baking sheet with paper towels.
Heat 2 1/2 inches of oil in large Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat to 360 degrees.
While oil heats, mix together cayenne, black pepper, salt, and cornstarch in small bowl.
Dry chicken with paper towels and place pieces in large bowl.
Sprinkle spice mixture over wings and turn with large spoon until evenly coated.
Fry half of chicken wings until golden and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.
With slotted spoon, transfer fried chicken wings to baking sheet in oven.
Keep first batch of chicken warm in oven while frying remaining wings.
Pour sauce mixture into large bowl, add chicken wings, and toss until wings are evenly coated.
Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on side.
Cut the wing in half by placing your knife into the socket that connects the leg and wing. This will take a bit of practice. You will know you have the right spot when it cuts through easily. If the knife won't go through then you have not found the right spot. Just keep moving the knife around until you get it.
