Broiled Buffalo Wings
We know it's hard to believe but these Buffalo sauce chicken wings are actually broiled, not fried, to a perfectly crisp finish and don't contain any butter in the sauce. Lip-smackingly lovely is what we think. Have another. We won't tell.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint
- 1/4 cup cayenne pepper sauce, preferably Frank’s Red Hot, plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons homemade chicken stock or low-sodium canned chicken broth
- 3 large ribs celery, cut into sticks
- 1 recipe Blue cheese dip
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler. Place the wings in a large pot and fill the pot with water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then continue to boil for 10 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cayenne pepper sauce, lemon juice, and broth.
- Move the wings to a broiler pan and broil 5 to 6 inches from the flame, until the skin begins to blister and brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the wings over and broil until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes more.
- Place the wings on a baking sheet, drizzle with the reserved sauce, and toss well to coat. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1 minute to heat the wings and sauce together.
- Serve the broiled Buffalo wings with extra hot sauce on the side, celery sticks, and the blue cheese dip.
