One of my FAVORITE dishes is anything buffalo… 
I mean I go crazy for it! There is not one style I have not tried. Baked, Fried, Super Spicy or Mild and Sweet. Drenched in Whiskey or Wine. I have had them ALL! Lot’s of those recipes have come from my own experiments as some have also come from borrowed ideas.
SO… Going back to my 2nd Blog post… I LOVE ANYTHING SWEET AND SOUR! Add some kick and you have won my heart. <3 Literally!
I hope you enjoy this recipe. It’s one of my favorites that took about 2 months to get right. I prefer my buffalo style drumsticks baked instead of fried. A lot healthier.
Go get all your ingredients together…

Tried this on the weekend! Was successful and delicious!
Thanks for the recipe, congrats on the well deserved recognition
I'm glad you tried it and that you had success with it.
Now this recipe is CERTIFIED KITCHEN TESTED! Many thanks!
These look amazing. Good job perfecting them. The only thing I would do is make them even spicier, use a hotter sauce but that is just me. I know it wouldn't be authentic but Frank's is way too mild for my tongue!
I also bake them when I make them and I use half butter half grapeseed oil to cut some of the cholesterol. I have also tried Barefoot Contessa's version where she broils them. I am going to try these soon. Thanks a lot for the inspiration.
Yum! Can't wait to try this out
This looks to be a wonderful recipe! One question I would have is the use of Frank's. Though i love salt and consider it a health food, Frank's is way too salty for my taste. What would be your second choice for a hot sauce?
