You can just about always find buffalo chicken wings in any tailgate spread on game day, but I thought this classic needed a little bit of a twist.
While my husband loves his chicken wings dripping in spicy buffalo sauce, my son prefers them without any, and I only like just the hint of the buffalo flavoring.
So, similar to Goldilocks, I tried and tried different ways until I found the one that was just right.
Tip #1, only use the chicken drummettes. It just keeps them easier to eat and guess what else? You don’t wind up having to pick through for any meat!
Tip #2, serve them naked. Don’t dip them in any sauce or pour the buffalo sauce over them. This lets each person have their chicken bites the way they want them!
Tip #3, have lots of sauce options! Make a large bowl of classic buffalo sauce, blue cheese dip with large bits of blue cheese, and my personal favorite – buffalo ranch dip.
And here’s the best tip of all – cook plenty! They disappear fast!

Now I am definitely craving chicken wings!
Mmmm haven’t had anything like this in years! I love how you came to what does look like the perfect recipe and the perfect snack in front of a …. rugby match.
Great idea – serve them plain and let each person customize according to their preference. I like that! Also – that buffalo ranch dip sounds interesting!
My husband would love these!
