Introduction
Learn how to make the ultimate restaurant-quality buffalo wings at home. By drying the wings uncovered in the fridge overnight and frying them to crispy perfection, paired with a rich, buttery, slightly sweet buffalo sauce, you'll get the perfect game-day treat.
Step 1
Prep the chicken wings by cutting off the wing tips (save them for stock), then cut through the joint separating the flat from the drumette.
Step 2
Place the separated flats and drumettes onto a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 3
Thoroughly pat the wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess surface moisture, then transfer the tray uncovered to the refrigerator overnight to dry out the skin.
Step 4
To make the buffalo sauce, melt one stick of unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat.
Step 5
Pour in the hot sauce, add the crushed clove of garlic, a squeeze of ketchup, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir continuously over low heat until the butter is fully absorbed, ensuring the mixture does not boil.

Important Notes
Moisture is the enemy of crispiness. Drying the wings uncovered in the fridge overnight is the most critical step to achieving super-crispy skin without using batter or cornstarch.
Never let the buffalo sauce boil. High heat will break the butter emulsion, causing the sauce to separate and become greasy.
For safety when deep frying at home, never fill your frying pot more than halfway with oil to prevent boil-over when adding food.
Always season the wings with salt and pepper immediately after removing them from the hot oil so the seasoning adheres properly.
