Buffalo Chicken Wings

Skip to Recipe

2020 has been a very different year. The pandemic has wreaked upheaval across the globe and made us examine the fragility of our mortality. As our worlds suddenly shrank, and we were confined mostly to our homes, it brought in us a renewed appreciation for the simple things in life- the joy of stepping out of our homes without fear, the joy of meeting our friends, and the joy of the heartfelt hugs from our loved ones.

Much like the other holidays, New Years´ Eve will look different this year. But that is no reason not to celebrate. Getting through such a crazy year is still worth celebrating — even if it is just over Zoom or a small celebration within the family. Get your New Year’s celebration off to a rocking start with this mouth-watering appetizer.

Buffalo Chicken Wings are fried chicken wings that are tossed in a homemade “Buffalo Sauce”, which is a mixture of hot sauce, butter, and honey. Extra crispy on the outside and juicy inside, these wings are simply irresistible. This signature sauce is what sets these wings apart and takes them to a new level.


The recipe has nothing to do with actual buffalo or bison. It gets its name from a family-owned restaurant Anchor Bar, located in Buffalo, New York, where the first plate of wings was served.

If you’re looking for finger foods for the game night, these wings are always a winner, just like my Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings , Baked Korean Chicken Wings and BBQ Cauliflower Wings

Enjoy the holiday season and looking forward to seeing you all in the next year!
