If it’s game day, you need to be serving appetizers. Wings are among the most popular, but the same old hot wings can get boring. Mix it up with these buffalo and beer and Korean fried chicken wings!

Buffalo and Beer Wings

Beer and wings are best friends, so why not combine them in one flavorful app?

Beer and buffalo hot sauce are simmered with garlic and butter in this wings recipe that’s perfect for game day munching.

Ingredients
  • Oil, for frying
  • 1 cup stout beer
  • 1 cup buffalo hot sauce
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound chicken wings (about 24)
  • Celery sticks, on the side
  • Carrot sticks, on the side
  • Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping

    Instructions:
    In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together beer, buffalo sauce, butter, garlic, and brown sugar until simmering, about 4–5 minutes. Whisk cornstarch with ¼ cup of water. Pour in cornstarch mixture, and whisk until slightly thickened. Add in the Worcestershire sauce, and stir. Remove from heat, and set aside.

    1. Heat oil in a fryer or dutch oven to 350°F.

    2. Drain wings, and pat dry with a paper towel. Gently place wings into the fryer in small batches. Fry for 6–8 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. Remove from the fryer, and place in a bowl.

    3. Toss wings with sauce, and serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and blue cheese or ranch dressing

    Tip: You can cook the chicken wings in the oven instead of deep frying. Preheat oven to 400°F, and cook for 12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • *If using an air fryer, heat to 380°F, and bake for 15–20 minutes or until crispy, turning the wings every 5 minutes.

    • 4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced

      Instructions:

      2. Heat oil in a fryer or dutch oven to 350°F.
      3. Drain wings, and pat dry with a paper towel. Gently place wings, in batches, in the fryer. Fry for 6–8 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. Remove from the fryer, and place in a bowl.
