Chicken (Buffalo) Wings
Buffalo-style chicken wings with a savory and slightly sweet teriyaki glaze, perfect for casual gatherings or game day snacks. Crispy on the outside and tender inside, these wings are marinated overnight and broiled to perfection before baking in a low oven for extra tenderness and flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Sprinkle the chicken wings with seasoned salt.
- Place the wings in a large Tupperware container.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the wings and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, broil the wings until they are brown, turning them often.
- Place the wings in a large roaster and pour additional sauce over them.
- Bake in a low oven for a few hours until tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra kick, consider adding cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the teriyaki marinade. If you don’t have teriyaki sauce, a mix of soy sauce, honey, and garlic can work as a substitute. Ensure the wings are well-coated with the sauce for maximum flavor. For crispier skin, broil them for a few extra minutes at the end.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Buffalo wings with a side of celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for dipping. They also pair beautifully with Quick Rice And Broccoli Casserole for a hearty meal. For a fun gathering, consider serving them as part of a larger platter with other finger foods like sliders or nachos.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This method helps retain their crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings. Just ensure they are fully thawed before marinating and cooking. This helps the wings absorb the flavors of the teriyaki sauce better and cook evenly.
How do I make the wings spicier?
To add more heat, mix some hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes into the teriyaki sauce before marinating. Adjust the amount to your taste preference to achieve the desired spiciness.
Can I grill the wings instead of baking them?
Absolutely! Grilling the wings will give them a wonderful smoky flavor. Just marinate as directed, then grill over medium heat, turning frequently until fully cooked and crispy on the outside.
