This iconic dish from American cuisine is often associated with relaxation moments, parties, and gatherings with friends, being a staple on bar and restaurant menus. Total preparation time: 1 hour and 30 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Number of servings: 4 Ingredients For the chicken wings: - 10 chicken wings - 4 tablespoons of flour - 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika - 1/2 teaspoon of hot paprika - A pinch of pepper - Sea salt For the spicy sauce: - 50 g of butter - 1 tablespoon of hot sauce or chili paste - 3 tablespoons of passata (concentrated tomato juice) - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped - 1/2 teaspoon of hot paprika For the sour cream sauce: - 150 ml of sour cream - 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise - A sprig of green onion, finely chopped - Sea salt - Black pepper - 1 teaspoon of lemon juice Preparing Buffalo Chicken Wings 1. Preparing the wings: Start by washing the chicken wings thoroughly and drying them with a paper towel. This step is essential for achieving a crispy crust. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sweet paprika, hot paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix the dry ingredients well. 2. Coating the wings: Sprinkle the flour mixture over the chicken wings, ensuring each wing is evenly coated. This flour layer will help achieve a crunchy texture. Once coated, cover the wings with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour. This step will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. 3. Preparing the spicy sauce: While the wings are in the fridge, you can prepare the spicy sauce. In a small skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant. Then, add the hot sauce, passata, and hot paprika. Let the sauce simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until well combined. Once the sauce is ready, let it cool. 4. Frying the wings: In a deep skillet, heat about 7 cm of oil. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the wings. This will help achieve a crunchy texture. Fry the wings for 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden and crispy. Once fried, remove them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. 5. Coating the wings: Place the fried wings in a large bowl and pour the spicy sauce over them. Mix well so that each wing is evenly coated with the delicious sauce. Preparing the sour cream sauce 1. In a bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped green onion, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until you obtain a smooth sauce. This sauce will add a note of freshness and balance the spiciness of the Buffalo sauce. Serving Buffalo chicken wings are served hot, alongside the sour cream sauce and lemon wedges. A personal suggestion would be to accompany them with a coleslaw or French fries for a complete feast. The taste is truly unique, and the combination of flavors will leave everyone impressed. Useful tips - Hot sauce: If you prefer a milder sauce, you can adjust the amount of hot sauce or use a milder one. - For a healthier option: You can bake the wings in the oven instead of frying them, at a temperature of 200°C for 30-40 minutes, turning them halfway through to make them crispy. - Variations: You can experiment with different flavors by adding honey or soy sauce to the spicy sauce for a sweet-salty taste. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use frozen chicken wings? Yes, it is important to fully thaw the wings before preparing them. 2. How can I store leftover wings? You can store Buffalo chicken wings in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the oven to regain their crispiness. 3. What drinks pair well? Buffalo chicken wings pair perfectly with a cold beer, but also with a margarita cocktail or lemonade for a pleasant contrast!

However, it’s important to consume this dish in moderation, as it can contain a significant number of calories due to frying and sauces. A serving of Buffalo chicken wings (5 wings) can contain approximately 400-500 calories, depending on the cooking method and sauces used.
