Instructions
- Trim and prepare the chicken wings into drums and flats and pat dry with a paper towel as best as possible. Add the chicken to a bowl and lightly season with salt; combine. Lay the wings on a rack over a baking tray and place them in the fridge overnight to dry out. This ensures the perfect crunch.
- Preheat oil in a large deep pot to 200.c -390.f. Gently place the wings in batches, and fry for 11-12 minutes or until golden and crispy on the shell. Remove and drain over a wire rack. Season with salt right as they are removed from the oil.
- To make the buffalo sauce. Add all the ingredients into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Gently whisk and heat until everything is combined. Check seasoning levels and adjust accordingly. Remove from the heat. Don't let the sauce boil; otherwise, it will split.
- Place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well for the blue cheese sauce, breaking up the blue cheese if it's crumbled. Once smooth, check the seasoning.
- Add the cooked wings to a bowl, pour over the buffalo sauce and coat well. Serve the wings on a platter alongside the blue cheese sauce and the crudités. Dig in.

Buffalo Chicken Wings Storage Instructions
These buffalo wings are best eaten fresh. However, they can be stored for 2 days if any leftovers exist. Store them in an airtight container.
Buffalo Chicken Wings Reheating Instructions
To reheat any leftovers, place in a preheated oven set at 180.c – 350.f and bake for 6-7 minutes or until hot in the centre. Please note they won’t be as delicious if reheated, and the sauce will be slightly dry, but they are still tasty. They can also be reheated in a microwave as a last resort.
