Mr. likes to order Buffalo Wings when we go out, but I never understood why. They’re stupidly expensive for what they are, and the actual wings themselves just keep getting smaller and smaller.
If you’ve got a bunch of guests coming for the Big Game, save yourself some money and make your own wings.
[Pedantic NYer Moment]: Buffalo Wings are ALWAYS spicy because they’re made with cayenne pepper sauce. You can coat your wings in barbecue sauce, mild sauce, or whatever, but they’re no longer Buffalo wings if you do so., they’re just Hot Wings or Chicken Wings. [/Pedantic Moment]
Classic Buffalo Wings
- Chicken Wings (with skin on)
- Wing Sauce – 1 part melted butter to 1 part Frank’s Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce (Some people reduce the butter to 2 parts Frank’s to 1 part butter, but I think they’re sissies)
Deep fry (400 degrees, 10 minutes)Â or bake your wings (500 degrees, 20 minutes) until fully cooked and nice and crispy. Coat with wing sauce.
How stupidly easy is that? Wings are cheap, the sauce is cheap (and Frank’s loves to give out coupons) and they’re so simple to make. Why pay someone a premium to make something so easy?
You can change up the recipe by using BBQ sauce, etc. or by using chicken breast and making wraps with tortillas and lettuce.

Amen – I don’t understand why they’d pay the high prices, either. A dozen for like $7.99 is crazy!!

I had no idea that’s all there was to making wings. We’ll be having them more often at home!
I know, so easy, right? I also like the wings coated in Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce thinned with a little vinegar.
