Ingredients Buffalo Hot Chicken Wings
You know how it is – the best recipes come with just a few ingredients. Here you really only need three things:
| Ingredients |
|---|
| 400 g chicken wings |
| 100 ml Tabasco Buffalo Hot Sauce |
| 100 ml canola oil |
Preparation
As a Pikantista you know that Hot Chicken Wings come down to two things: crispy out of the pan and properly coated in Chili Sossen. Here's the complete process:
- Add about 100 ml of canola oil to a pan so the bottom is covered by about one centimeter.
- Add the chicken wings to the hot oil and fry until they are nicely browned and crispy.
- Place the chicken wings in a bowl. Add about 100 ml of the Tabasco Buffalo Hot Sauce and mix well.
- Then plate the Buffalo Style Chicken Wings and let them rest briefly.
Step 1: Fry the Chicken Wings
Fry chicken wings in a pan with plenty of canola oil for about 20 minutes – until they are perfectly crispy and golden brown on the outside. No lid on, so the steam can escape. Pikantista!
Step 2: Add the Buffalo Sauce and You're Done
Place the chicken wings in a bowl, pour the Tabasco Buffalo Wings Sauce over them and mix well – so that every wing is evenly coated with the Hot Sauce. Let them rest briefly, then serve.

Tips from Pikantista
Want to get even more out of your Buffalo Wings? Here are a few tricks that make all the difference:
- Add a dip: A cool blue cheese or ranch dip rounds out the fiery Buffalo flavor even more.
- More heat: If you like it even hotter, just add an extra splash of Hot Sauce directly onto the plate.
- Oven instead of pan: For a lower-fat option, you can also bake the wings in the oven at 220 °C fan for about 25 minutes before adding the Chili Sossen.
- Marinade: If you have time, let the wings marinate in the Buffalo Sauce for an hour beforehand – that adds even more depth of flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions about Buffalo Hot Chicken Wings
Which Hot Sauce works best for Buffalo Chicken Wings?
The Tabasco Buffalo Hot Sauce is the classic choice for this recipe – it brings the signature Buffalo flavor with just the right amount of heat. As a Pikantista you can of course try other Buffalo-based Hot Sauces too, depending on your personal heat tolerance.
Can I also prepare the chicken wings in the oven?
Yes, that works great. Simply bake the wings at 220 °C fan for about 25 minutes until crispy. Then mix with the Buffalo Sauce just like in the pan recipe.
How spicy are Buffalo Chicken Wings with Tabasco Buffalo Sauce?
The Tabasco Buffalo Hot Sauce has a medium heat level – fiery enough to have that Buffalo character, but not so extreme that beginners will be overwhelmed. Those who want more fire can add additional Chili Sossen on top.
What works as a side dish for Buffalo Hot Chicken Wings?
Classic pairings are celery sticks and carrot sticks, along with a blue cheese or ranch dip. Coleslaw or simply fresh baguette are also great companions to these fiery wings.
Can I marinate the wings ahead of time?
Absolutely – if you marinate the chicken wings in the Buffalo Sauce for at least an hour (or overnight), the flavor penetrates deeper into the meat and the result becomes even more aromatic. Pikantista!
