Classic Buffalo Chicken Wings are coated in a buttery, spicy Buffalo-style hot sauce and served with creamy blue cheese dressing and crisp celery sticks. The combination of hot, tangy wings with cool blue cheese dressing is a game-day favorite for good reason.
Using our Basic Chicken Wings recipe as the starting point makes these wings easy to prepare with your preferred cooking method. Once the wings are cooked, simply toss them with the warm Buffalo sauce and serve with blue cheese dressing and celery.
