Scorned Woman Buffalo Wings
Spicy, crispy buffalo wings coated in hot sauce and melted butter, perfect for game days or gatherings, appealing to those who crave bold, fiery flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Deep fry the chicken wings at 400°F (high) for 12 minutes or until completely cooked and crispy, then drain.
- Pour melted butter or margarine over the cooked wings in a large bowl or pan, coating them thoroughly.
- Pour the hot sauce over the wings, again ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- If cooking a larger amount or using a smaller deep fryer, keep cooked wings warm in the oven at low temperature until others are ready.
- Sit back and enjoy! Have a fire extinguisher nearby, if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra crispiness, consider double frying the wings; fry them once, let them rest for a few minutes, and then fry again for 4-5 minutes. If Scorned Woman hot sauce is too spicy, you can mix it with a milder sauce or use a combination of hot sauce and honey for a sweet and spicy flavor. Pair these wings with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Scorned Woman Buffalo Wings with celery sticks and carrot sticks for crunch and freshness. They pair beautifully with Kathy'S Cranberry Barbecue Sauce as a unique dipping option. For a complete meal, consider serving with coleslaw or fries, making it a perfect game day or party dish.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.
