These crispy buffalo chicken wings are everything you love about classic bar wings: extra crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly coated in a buttery, tangy buffalo sauce. A quick brine keeps the meat tender, while a vodka-infused batter ensures the ultimate shatter-crisp coating. Served with carrot sticks, celery, and your favorite dip, they’re crunchy to the last bite.
