Why is it called buffalo wings?
They got their name since they were invented in a Buffalo, New York restaurant in the 1960s. Typically, the wings are deep-fried or baked without any breading before being covered or dipped in a sauce.
These days, restaurants all across the world serve this dish since it has grown to be so well-liked.
How to make buffalo wings extra crispy?
As stated above, the secret to making them extra crispy is to put them on a wire rack inside of a rimmed baking sheet. This is because the rack allows air to pass through them freely.
Also, put an aluminum foil under, so it does not drip and mess up the oven.
