Fried Chicken wings with buffalo wing seasoning and served coated a homemade hot wing sauce. Our Chicken drumettes have the best buffalo chicken wing sauce
Why do we call them Buffalo Wings? The first visual I always get is a buffalo with little wings. So exactly, how did this name get started and how has it stuck around for as long as I remember. The only information I have found is it’s something about the origin in Buffalo New York. But we all know them as chicken drumettes with buffalo chicken wing sauce.
But nevertheless they are here to stay and they are everywhere! East, West, North or South, we all love our wings, especially during Football season. And we believe these are a must serve on Sunday afternoons while watching football games. And they are especially welcome at our Superbowl party.
These fried chicken wings are just amazing and really easy to make. First, we season chicken drumettes with a special blend of seasonings. Then we fry the chicken drumettes until they are crisp and done. The fried chicken wings are dropped into a pan of our buffalo chicken wing sauce until they are completely coated with the hot wing sauce.
