Spice Island Buffalo
Coating Buffalo wings is a crucial step in
achieving that crispy exterior. Here's a simple
method:
INGREDIENTS:
- Chicken wings
- All-purpose flour or cornstarch
- Salt and pepper (optional)
- Buffalo wing sauce
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to
remove excess moisture. This helps the coating
adhere better.
2. In a bowl, mix together the flour or cornstarch
with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired. The
flour helps create a crispy coating.
3. Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture
until they are evenly coated. You can do this by
placing the wings and flour mixture in a large
resealable plastic bag and shaking until coated,
or by dredging the wings in the flour mixture in a
bowl.
4. Shake off any excess flour from the wings.
5. Fry the wings in hot oil or bake them until they
are cooked through and crispy.
6. Once the wings are cooked, toss them in the
Buffalo wing sauce until they are evenly coated
Enjoy your perfectly coated Buffalo wings!
