Buffalo wings have quickly become one of the most popular foods in the United States. They are called Buffalo wings because they originated in Buffalo, New York. The wings are first coated with a flour mixture, deep fried and then tossed with a hot sauce. The heat comes from hot sauce and cayenne pepper. You can easily adjust the amount of heat by using mild, medium or hot sauce. If you want to save time you can buy precut wings from the store. These were so good and I found them to be restaurant quality. I think they must have got devoured in a matter of minutes. I would highly recommend these wings as an appetizer for a party or even as part of a meal. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Enjoy.

Just tried them and I´m loving them! I did however make the sauce differently, I used franks hot sauce, margarine, cayenne pepper, red pepper, black pepper, garlic salt, white wine viniegar and worchestershire sauce. It´s heaven, I´m having them tonight with the UFC. :)

Wings dusted in flour aren't Buffalo wings. Franks Red Hot and butter or just Franks Red Hot wing sauce (they bottle it) is all you need. Yep, another Buffalonian here. :-)

Hi Bobby, I made the Buffalo Wings tonight and they were awesome...so crisp and very delicious! I didn't have any Frank's Hot Sauce, so I used what I had in pantry which was Tabasco's Buffalo Sauce. It was the greatest taste. Thank you so much!

if you like them dusted, coat them with flour and salt and let them sit in the fridge for a half hour like the recipe says. then take them out and dust them a second time and cook them right away. i cried tears of joy eating these

perhaps not traditional but the dusting is key! Try them both ways - you'll convert to dusted (my preference is cayenne and paprika and a hint of black pepper) ... followed by the butter/Franks coating after frying
