I have the inside scoop on the best homemade chicken wings. I’m talking about Buffalo wings, a New York staple that’s pure spicy, saucy deliciousness. And thanks to Amanda, I have an amazingly easy recipe to share with you!

Amanda grew up obsessed with Buffalo wings. Her mom would make them in huge batches whenever chicken wings went on sale. It always felt like a special treat to her. Amanda describes the perfect Buffalo wing as having crispy skin, juicy meat and a sauce that gives you a good tingle without burning your mouth off. Sounds like heaven to me! She recommends baking the wings for maximum crisp, and let’s be real, sometimes frying can be a hassle.

Turns out, making that iconic Buffalo sauce is way easier than you’d think. It’s just hot sauce (Amanda swears by classic Frank’s RedHot), butter and a splash of vinegar. It’s that tangy kick that makes it so addictive!

The great thing about Buffalo wings is that you can adjust the spice level. And let’s not forget the sides: are you team blue cheese (like me!) or ranch? And those crunchy celery sticks? Essential!

If you think these wings are just for restaurants or sports bars, think again. This recipe makes them easy and amazing right at home. Give these a try, and let me know what you think! Just a warning…you might get hooked. Everyone should eat Buffalo wings. Period.
