Why Make Buffalo Wings?
Even on Wing Wednesday, buffalo wings can still be pricey. The price per wing really adds up, and I knew there must be a better and cheaper way. It turns out that making them at home was the solution to my wing woes! Seasoned with classic spices like paprika, garlic, and onion, these wings already have so much flavor. Once tossed in that creamy, buttery Buffalo Sauce, you’ll be wondering why you never made them at home before!
Ingredients for Buffalo Wings
- Cornstarch: A bit of cornstarch helps keep the wings crispy.
- Spices: Paprika, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt add so much flavor to the wings. Keep the garlic powder handy for the sauce, too!
- Cooking Oil: You’ll need just enough to drizzle over the wings so they crisp up in the oven. Canola or vegetable oil both work well here.
- Chicken Wings: Wings or drumettes both work for this recipe, so choose one type or both for variety.
- Butter: Unsalted butter makes the sauce thick and creamy.
- Franks RedHot Sauce: Hot sauce is the one ingredient you’ll want to splurge a bit on. It gives these wings their signature flavor and spice! Use the leftovers to make Spinach Artichoke Dip.
- Worcestershire Sauce: This umami sauce adds depth to the buffalo sauce.
How to Serve Buffalo Wings
