Buffalo Baked Chicken Wings Recipe
Buffalo wings are a well-known appetizer. There’s just something about the sauce that’s so deliciously addicting. I’ve tried many buffalo wing recipes, but I always seemed to come me back to the same recipe I tried from the very beginning. I personally love it because it’s pretty mild, but you can make it spicier if you want.
The best part of the baked chicken wings recipe is that it is baked. This makes it less of a hassle and less cleanup at the end. Baking the wings versus deep frying them is also healthier for those watching fat and calories.

These Buffalo wings are always a hit. Haha boys will be boys! One thing I learned after marrying Mikhail was not to share a plate of food with him. If I didn’t eat fast, I didn’t eat at all lol. I guess some guys just don’t think much when they eat lol.
