Buffalo Chicken Wings
Ingredients
Chicken & Oil
- 1.6 kg Chicken Wings Drums & Flats
- Salt
- Sunflower or Vegetable Oil For Frying
Buffalo Sauce
- 100 g Unsalted Butter
- 2 (300ml) bottles Frank's Hot Sauce
- 2 Garlic Cloves Crushed
- 20 g Honey
Blue Cheese Dip
- 80 g Mayonnaise
- 40 g Sour Cream
- 22.5 ml Buttermilk
- 1 Garlic Clove Minced
- 0.5 g Yellow Mustard Powder
- 50 g Blue Cheese Crumbled
- Salt & Pepper

- Carrots Batons

Method
- Trim and separate the chicken wings into drums and flats, patting them as dry as possible with paper towels. Add to a bowl, season lightly with salt, and combine. Lay the wings on a rack over a baking tray and refrigerate overnight, uncovered, to dry out — this is what gives the perfect crunch.
- Preheat oil in a large, deep pot to 200°C (390°F). Fry the wings in batches for 11–12 minutes, or until golden and crispy on the shell and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Remove and drain on a wire rack, seasoning with salt right as they come out of the oil.
- To make the buffalo sauce, add all the ingredients to a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk gently and heat until everything is combined. Check the seasoning and adjust as needed. Remove from the heat — don't let the sauce boil, or it will split.
- For the blue cheese dip, place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well, breaking up the blue cheese if it's in a block. Once smooth, check the seasoning.
- Add the cooked wings to a bowl, pour over the buffalo sauce, and toss to coat well. Serve on a platter alongside the blue cheese dip and crudités. Dig in.

Recipe Notes
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.
