Crispy Restaurant Style Buffalo Chicken Wings
Regardless of how you dress your wings, the key to making amazing chicken wings is to deep-fry them twice. I love them tossed in the dry rub seasoning listed below since they maintain their crunchy flavor. I have never understood those who bake wings in the oven; it's a guilty pleasure for a reason! You can also season the wings with Asian soy, BBQ, herb, or traditional buffalo-style hot sauce. If desired, serve alongside celery and ranch or blue cheese dressing.
