Most people are amazed to find out that Buffalo Wings are flavored with just butter and hot sauce. Yup, that’s it: simple and delicious. It’s tangy and spicy, over a base of fatty chicken-y goodness. Plus, who doesn’t love anything fried.
Alton Brown’s recipe adds a little garlic, but he stretches further by making his without frying them. This caught me eye right away because Lon and I could really use the calorie savings (apparently the holidays never ended for us) and because frying is just sort of a pain for people at home. It makes a mess, the kitchen will smell for days, and it’s hard to fry a large quantity for your Superbowl party.
