Buffalo Chicken Wings {and how to serve them}
This post is a lot more about how I like to serve Buffalo Chicken Wings then it is about how to make them, although we’ll cover that too!
Crispy baked chicken wings get dosed with the perfect sauce and a sprinkle of blue cheese.
While I’ve technically completed my 5 New Chicken Wing Recipes in 5 Weeks personal challenge, I figured there’s always room for one more. Buffalo Chicken Wings are such a classic that I wanted the recipe documented in the archives. I now have six chicken wing recipes to share and growing.
I have this vision that one day my great grandchildren will be making my recipes. They’ll call them vintage and think they’re cool ;-)
Easy Preparation
While the wings are baking at 400 degrees F. for an hour, you’ll make the buffalo sauce. It’s three ingredients: Frank’s Redhot Sauce (1/2 ~ 1-1/2 cups depending on how hot you like your wings), 1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted butter, and 2 teaspoons garlic powder; whisked together over medium heat for just a few minutes until heated through.
I start with 1/2 cup of Frank’s for “medium” wings and build from there. Nick on the other hand is more of a “hot” kind of guy.
Pour this sauce over your wings and toss. The next step is the game-changer!
Serve Them Up
After you toss your wings in the buffalo sauce, instead of serving them on a plate…pour them over a big bowl of tortilla chips and sprinkle with some crumbled blue cheese.
The extra buffalo sauce rolls off keeping the wings crispy not soggy sitting in a pool of sauce.
I’m definitely a crispy wing kind of girl.
When the wings are gone you’ll have a heavenly bowl of buffalo chips!
You’ll definitely want to serve with a side of Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing and Homemade Buttermilk Ranch.
I’m telling you this is a game changer.
Thanks RG for the chip tip all those years ago!
