During any sports season, these just seem to always be on the menu.They’re easy to make, delicious, and perfect for feeding a crowd.The combination of the brine and homemade sauce makes for one of the best appetizer recipes around.

These are a must-make for any party or sporting get-together.I also like to serve them up with some of my other favorite appetizer recipes like Beer Cheese Dip, Al Pastor Nachos, and BBQ Chicken Sliders.

Why Are They Called Buffalo Wings?

They were founded in the Anchor Bar in 1964, where the wife of a restaurant owner in Buffalo, New York, thought it would be cool to serve up some fried chicken with hot sauce.

Brined Wings

To secret to really flavorful, tender wings are bringing them and letting them brine overnight or for at least 12 hours, just like I do in my Best Ever Fried Chicken Recipe.

1. Add wings to a plastic bag or container.
2. Add in pickle juice and buttermilk and marinate overnight.

How Do I Get Them Crispy?

The trick to getting them crispy is by breading them in flour.This will ensure the outside of each piece is incredibly browned and crispy.

Buffalo Sauce

The sauce is the main driver to tasty buffalo wings since it is so strong in flavor and the outside coating them.Here are the ingredients that are heated and mixed together in a pot:

• Red Hot Sauce
• Distilled Vinegar
• Garlic Powder
• Onion Powder
• Sugar
• Worcestershire Sauce
• Unsalted butter

If you suffer from frequent heartburn, you already know that most of these ingredients can trigger your symptoms.

How to Make the Best Buffalo Wings

Here is a quick overview of how to make my buffalo wings recipe.

1. Transfer the wings to the flour and coat them.
2. Place them in the basket of a deep fryer and fry at 350° for 7-8 minutes.

3. Add them to a bowl with the sauce and toss to coat.
4. Serve with ranch, blue cheese, extra sauce, celery, and carrots

Be sure to move your fryer basked around after 2-3 minutes to ensure they are not sticking to each other, or use tongs to break up if they are frying on a pot on the stovetop.

Why Are They Served With Celery and Carrots?

While there is no perfect reason as to why they are served up with celery and carrots, my wild educated culinary guess is that they are contrasted in flavor and texture.They’re crunchy and also offer up a cooling flavor to help with the heat of the sauce from the chicken.
