Categories     appetizer

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 whole chicken wings (about 3 pounds)
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup hot sauce
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place a 6-quart saucepan, with a steamer basket and 1 inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.
  • Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Use kitchen shears or a knife to separate the wings at the joint. Place the wings in the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam 10 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry. Lay out the wings on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator to dry, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the paper towels on the pan and replace with parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack of the oven, about 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook 20 to 30 more minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
  • While the chicken is roasting, melt the butter in a small bowl with the garlic. Pour this along with the hot sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken and stir to combine. Remove the wings from the oven, transfer to the bowl and toss with the sauce. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For crispy wings, make sure they are dry before frying. Pat them dry with paper towels or let them air dry for a few minutes.
  • Use a deep fryer or large pot filled with oil to fry the wings. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Fry the wings in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pot. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Don't overcook the wings. They should be cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked wings will be tough and dry.
  • Make sure the buffalo sauce is hot enough for your taste. You can always add more cayenne pepper or hot sauce to taste.
  • Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or celery sticks.

Conclusion:

Buffalo chicken wings are a classic party food that is easy to make and always a hit. With a few simple ingredients, you can make delicious buffalo wings that will be the star of your next party. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy appetizer, give buffalo chicken wings a try.
