How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wings

The process is pretty straightforward, but the texture is where most people fail. You want the skin to be crispy enough to hold onto the buffalo chicken wings sauce without becoming soggy immediately.

• Dry the meat: Moisture is your enemy. Pat them down until they are bone dry.
• The Crunch: You can either deep fry them or use a buffalo chicken wings air fryer method to get that skin bubbling.
• The Toss: Never pour the sauce over the wings on a plate. Put the wings in a large metal bowl, pour the sauce over, and shake it until every nook and cranny is coated.

The Anatomy of a Chicken Wing

If you are buying your wings whole from the local market in Karachi, you’ll notice they come in three parts. You have the "drumette," which looks like a tiny drumstick; the "flat" (or wingette), which has the two small bones; and the "tip." While some people like the tips for stock, they don’t have much meat, so most people discard them or save them for later. Understanding this anatomy helps you cook them evenly, as drumettes usually take a minute or two longer than the flats.
