Buffalo Wings are delicious and succulent fried chicken wings dipped in a delicious Buffalo sauce. This is a very popular US appetizer which is traditionally enjoyed with friends during Super Bowl league games.

Perfect for any occasion, these fried buffalo wings are super crispy on the outside and tender, juicy on the inside. The secret to make this recipe perfect lies in the sauce. Bright red in color, buffalo sauce has a tangy, spicy flavor that is muted by a sweet note from the honey which pairs perfectly with chicken.

The fried chicken wings are sprinkled with sesame seeds and fresh rosemary. Wings are brushed with the Buffalo sauce which will give the meat creaminess and a truly explosive taste. Serve these fried buffalo wings with raw carrot and celery sticks for a restaurant-style dish.
