Buffalo Chicken Wings

These classic Buffalo chicken wings are the ultimate high-protein snack or sharing platter, offering a perfect balance of heat and crunch. By frying the wings in a blend of peanut and vegetable oils, you achieve a deeply golden, crisp skin that stands up beautifully to the tangy glaze. The signature sauce, made with melted unsalted butter and Tabasco, provides that iconic savoury kick that defines authentic American-style wings.

Traditionally served as a crowd-pleasing appetiser, this dish is accompanied by cooling celery and carrot sticks to cleanse the palate. The rich Danish blue cheese dip adds a creamy, salty contrast to the spicy coating, making it a sophisticated choice for weekend entertaining. For the best results, ensure the chicken is patted completely dry before cooking to guarantee maximum crispness.

Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Wings

  • 4 large carrots, peeled

  • 4 large ribs celery, trimmed

  • 1.8kg chicken wings, (about 24), tips removed, rinsed and patted dry

  • 120ml unsalted butter

  • 2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce

  • 240ml peanut oil

  • 240ml vegetable oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Danish Blue-Cheese Dip

How to make Buffalo Chicken Wings

  1. Cut the carrots and celery into sticks; set aside.

  2. Using a sharp knife, separate the chicken wings at the joint so you have a "drumstick" and a "thigh." Set aside.

  3. Melt the butter with the Tabasco sauce in a small saucepan. Transfer it to a large bowl and set aside.

  4. Heat the peanut and vegetable oils in a deep, heavy pot over medium-high heat. When the oils are hot, cook the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels. Place in the bowl and toss with the Tabasco mixture to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Serve the wings immediately with the carrot and celery sticks and dip alongside
