All-Star Buffalo Chicken Wings are a great appetizer for your Christmas or New Years' gathering. They are a little bit spicy but oh so good. They cook in the instant pot and then put under the broiler to make them crispy and delicious.
All-Star Buffalo Chicken Wings
I'm pretty sure after posting Biscuit Wreath With Buffalo Chicken Dip and Buffalo Chicken Tenders in the past that it's not a shock to anyone that I love buffalo sauce. Buffalo Chicken salad or Buffalo Chicken and french fries are probably up there with my favorite meals. Definitely a go-to no matter where we are eating.
However, this particular recipe for All-Star Buffalo Chicken Wings is my favorite and holds a special place in my heart. At one point Joe and I owned a Pizza Restaurant with my brother and his wife. This is the recipe for wing sauce that we served. We used a fryer in the restaurant but this Instant Pot/Broiler method is a good substitute.
We did make a few updates to the wing recipe since the pizza shop days. I made a quick dry rub to give them a little extra flavor- a little paprika, red pepper, black pepper, and garlic powder. It was perfect. The wing sauce is just a basic medium buffalo made with Franks hot sauce, Italian dressing and butter. The hot sauce can be adjusted more or less depending on heat preference.
