These Ina Garten broiled buffalo chicken wings are the perfect snack or appetizer especially served with this blue cheese dip. Perfect for any gathering, these wings would be a delicious addition!
I love Ina Garten Cookbooks and recipes. So, when the four of us decided to get together and cook one afternoon with Ina as our inspiration, I decided to make her Buffalo Chicken Wings. We also spent the day making chicken pot pies, salad, and carrot cake. We we're four happy gals doing what we love!
I had wanted to try this recipe for a long time and I’m glad that I did. Only a few basic ingredients are needed to make these delicious wings. For a spicier wing, feel free to add more hot sauce.
It's great to be able to make a hearty appetizer in about 30 minutes. To really save time make the blue cheese dip up to two days ahead of time. Or, use a bottled blue cheese or ranch dressing.
So for a main meal, snack, appetizer or game day munchie, these easy to prepare juicy wings will be a hit!
