Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Thaw the chicken wings if frozen, then deep fry them in oil until they are golden and crispy. |
| 2 | Using a large skillet, cook 10-12 wings at a time to ensure they cook evenly. |
| 3 | Once cooked, place the wings on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Set them aside to cool to room temperature. |
| 4 | In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. |
| 5 | Stir in the lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and hot sauce, combining them well. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. |
| 6 | Transfer the cooled wings to gallon-sized ziplock bags, then pour the prepared sauce over them. Seal the bags tightly and allow the wings to marinate for at least 30 minutes. |
| 7 | Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (163Β°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. |
| 8 | Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the baking sheets. |
| 9 | Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are heated through and the sauce is caramelized. |
| 10 | Optionally, you can reserve some of the leftover sauce for dipping by reheating it to the boiling point. |
| 11 | Serve the Best Ever Buffalo Wings hot, with a side of ranch dressing and crisp vegetable sticks for dipping. They’re also great paired with stuffed mushrooms for a complete appetizer spread. |
| 12 | If you have leftovers, you can freeze the cooked wings with the sauce for up to three weeks. Simply thaw them in the refrigerator and reheat them in the oven before serving. |
| 13 | Enjoy the irresistible flavor of these buffalo wings, guaranteed to be a hit at any gathering! |
