Buffalo wings have a fascinating origin that dates back to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, in the 1960s. Created as a spur-of-the-moment snack, the wings were tossed in a spicy sauce and served with celery and blue cheese dressing. Since then, they have become a beloved staple in American cuisine and gained popularity worldwide. This recipe pays homage to the original buffalo wings, featuring a spicy sauce that is sure to delight wing enthusiasts.

Spicy buffalo wings are perfect for game day gatherings, parties, or whenever you're craving a flavorful appetizer. Serve them as an appetizer or as the main course alongside coleslaw and fries for a complete meal. Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of hot sauce used in the recipe. These wings are best enjoyed immediately after cooking for maximum crispiness.

Cooking Equipment:
1. Baking sheet or roasting pan
2. Mixing bowl
3. Wire rack (optional, for extra crispy wings)

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot or your preferred brand)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
• Celery sticks, for serving
• Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet or roasting pan with aluminum foil.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
3. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then place them in the bowl with the flour mixture. Toss the wings until evenly coated.
4. Arrange the coated wings on the prepared baking sheet or roasting pan in a single layer. If desired, place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to elevate the wings for extra crispiness.
5. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
6. While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by combining the melted butter and hot sauce in a separate mixing bowl. Add honey if desired for a touch of sweetness. Stir well to combine.
7. Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
8. Serve the spicy buffalo wings hot with celery sticks and your preferred dipping sauce (blue cheese or ranch dressing). Enjoy the fiery flavor!
9. Note:
10. For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for a couple of minutes after baking.
11. Adjust the amount of hot sauce according to your desired spice level.
12. Serve the wings immediately for the best texture and flavor.
