Chicken Wings Buffalo-Style

COOK TIME
40 Min

Bake or fry: Whichever you decide, it's the easiest, no-mess, sure-fire batch of fun you could serve to anybody.

What You'll Need

  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings (about 10 to 12)
  • 4 tablespoons (2 ounces) hot pepper sauce (for hotter wings, use up to 3/4 cup [6 ounces])
  • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) butter, melted
  • Vegetable oil (for deep-fry method only)

What to Do

No-Fry Method:
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
     
  2. Split the wings at each joint and discard tips; rinse, then pat dry. Place in a single layer in a shallow baking pan.
     
  3. Bake wings, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove from pan and place in a large bowl.
     
  4. In a small bowl, combine the hot pepper sauce and melted butter; pour over wings Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight, turning several times
     
  5. Preheat broiler.
     
  6. Remove wings from marinade, reserving marinade. Place wings on a sheet pan and broil for about 5 minutes on each side, brushing occasionally with marinade, until brown and crisp. Brush with remaining marinade before serving.
     

Deep-Fry Method (Original Buffalo-Style):
 

  1. Split the wings at each joint and discard tips; rinse, then pat dry.
     
  2. Deep-fry at 400 degrees F for 12 minutes or until cooked through and crispy. Place on paper towel and drain.
     
  3. In a small bowl, combine the hot pepper sauce and melted butter. Toss wings in sauce to coat completely. Makes about 5 to 6 servings.

Don't have a thermometer? Maybe you do - an electric skillet or wok gives you a controlled temperature.

AFTER READING HOW SOME ARE CONCERNED ABOUT USING THE MARINADE ON UNCOOKED WINGS, I WENT BACK AND REREAD THE RECIPE. THE FIRST VERSION SAID TO BAKE FOR 30 MINUTES, AND THE OTHER VERSION SAID TO FRY FOR 12 MINUTES UNTIL COOKED THROUGH AND CRISPY. SO, I WOULD SAY IT IS SAFE TO MAKE AS IT IS WRITTEN, AS THE WINGS ARE COOKED BEFORE USING THE MARINADE.

Should have said to reserve some of the marinade before putting on wings. I picked up on that also.

I am concerned that the left over marinate would not be good to brush on the wings after they are cooked, since the marinate was put on uncooked wings??
