Buffalo Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are the most popular appetizer for any type of family gathering or sporting event. Most people agree that the best part of the chicken wing appetizer is the sauce. If you're looking for a gluten-free version of this popular appetizer, choose a recipe that skips the breading and uses a gluten-free sauce. For a perfectly spicy gluten-free buffalo chicken wing appetizer, follow this simple recipe.

Ingredients:

• vegetable oil for deep frying
• 24 chicken wings (remove the tips and cut the wings in half at the joints)
• 4 tbsps of butter
• 1 tbsps distilled white vinegar
• 5 tbsps hot pepper sauce
• salt and pepper as needed

Instructions:

1. Using a pot or a deep fryer, heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and fry the chicken wings in the oil for about 10 minutes or until done. Scoop out the chicken wings and place them on a paper towel or a layer of coffee filters to drain excess oil.
2. Set a different pan over medium-low heat, and melt the butter. Add the vinegar and pepper sauce while seasoning to taste with the salt and pepper. Stir the sauce and then add the chicken wings. Continue to stir over low heat. The longer you leave the chicken in the sauce, the hotter the wings will become. When finished, scoop out of the wings and serve them hot.
