I should admit, there are a number of issues I miss, one in every of them being buffalo wings. I don’t suppose it was the fowl that I missed… extra so the buffalo sauce, considering I love spicy food.

For the hot sauce, I used Frank’s Red Hot, and it was the proper quantity of spice. You too can use any flour of your choosing.
