Notes

  • For even more flavor, coat the chicken wings in your favorite seasoning blend before cooking.
  • Use your favorite Buffalo sauce! For a little kick, add a few splashes of hot sauce into the butter/Buffalo sauce mixture.
  • Chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature of the thickest part reaches 165°F. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to be sure.
