🍽 Dish Name: Buffalo Wings
📝 Ingredients:
- 1 kg chicken wings
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Buffalo Sauce:
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
For Serving:
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing
- Celery sticks
- Carrot sticks
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Prepare the Wings:
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy when fried.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until they are well coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- Fry the Wings:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F).
- Fry the wings in batches for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Buffalo Sauce:
- While the wings are frying, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the hot sauce, honey (if using), vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.
- Toss the Wings in Sauce:
- Place the fried wings in a large mixing bowl. Pour the Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Serve:
- Serve the Buffalo wings with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
- Add celery and carrot sticks for a classic touch.
✨ Cooking Tip:
- For extra crispy wings, you can double-fry them. Fry the wings once for 6-7 minutes, let them rest for a few minutes, then fry them again until fully crispy.
