Why We Love This Fried Buffalo Wings Recipe

This recipe is a labor of love. A labor of love to my husband, Pat. Let’s be honest, not much of what I cook is in honor of him. But today is all about Pat. Pat loves fried chicken wings. He is a man of simple tastes, and that’s okay, even if I do try to push his tastes sometimes. Today I’m keeping it simple with the absolute best gluten free Buffalo wings recipe, something everyone is sure to love.

Variations on Gluten Free Buffalo Wings

I love classic Buffalo sauce with these delicious fried chicken wings. But you can change up the flavor slightly by adding some Parmesan cheese and minced garlic, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lemon juice and cracked pepper, BBQ sauce, or honey to the Buffalo sauce.

How to Store and Reheat 

Store leftover fried Buffalo wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes, or until 165°F internally.

How to Freeze 

Freeze fried Buffalo wings in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a Ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Allow wings to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Serving Suggestions

Eat these deep-fried Buffalo wings by themselves (the sauce is so), dip them in ranch or blue cheese, and eat a little or a lot– the choices are all yours! But these better be made in your house soon, because they’re so worth it. Plus they make the Pat in your life, whoever that may be, very very happy. Sometimes the simple recipes are the best. If you want some more substantial side dishes to serve with wings, try french fries, creamy coleslaw, fried pickles, baked avocado fries, corn on the cob, or mac and cheese.

How to Fry Buffalo Wings Step by Step

Make the Breading: In a large ziplock bag, combine 1 cup of Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Flour, 1 tablespoon of ground paprika, 1 teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper, 1½ teaspoons of garlic powder, and kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir to fully combine. Coat the Wings: Add in 3 pounds of chicken wingettes about 10 at a time, sealing and shaking to fully coat the wings in the flour mixture. Remove wings from the mixture and place on a paper plate. Repeat with all the wings until they are all fully coated in the flour mixture. Place wings in the fridge for 10-30 minutes; this will help the flour to fully adhere to the wings. Fry The Wings: While the wings chill in the fridge, heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven to 360°F. Fry the wings in batches of 10 for 10-15 minutes, or until the wings are crispy, browned, and fully cooked through. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain. Make the Sauce: When you start frying your last batch of wings, start your sauce. Heat ½ cup of salted butter, 1 cup of Buffalo sauce, and 3 tablespoons of honey or medium-high heat in a small sauce pan. Stir while you cook. Once bubbling, reduce to simmer and continue cooking. Use a whisk to stir the sauce often while cooking, about 10-15 minutes. Toss the Wings: Once all the wings are done and drained of oil, add them all to a large bowl and toss in the hot sauce. Serve immediately, with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
