After sitting in a sports bar for four days straight (and watching my bracket go down the toilet), my friends and I worked our way through a nice series of bar food: fried pickles, nachos, waffle fries, chicken strips, fried green beans, chips and salsa… The one thing we skipped? Buffalo wings.
And oh man do I love wings.
So last night, Aaron and I decided to make our own. I thought it would be complicated and involve a lot of frying, which I try to avoid as much as possible at home, but this recipe called for broiling the wings instead and was reeeaaaally easy.
I modified the sauce a bit, using 3/4 cup of Frank’s hot sauce and 1/2 stick unsalted butter (um, I didn’t say these were healthy wings) because I like my wings “wet” or extra saucy. I also skipped the cayenne pepper, but kept the paprika.
Served with celery and blue cheese dipping sauce, the wings were perfect, satisfying and had just the right amount of kick.
Yum.
