Beer and buffalo hot sauce are simmered with garlic and butter in this wings recipe that’s perfect for game day munching.

Serves 6–8

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together beer, buffalo sauce, butter, garlic, and brown sugar until simmering, about 4–5 minutes. Whisk cornstarch with ¼ cup of water. Pour in cornstarch mixture, and whisk until slightly thickened. Add in the Worcestershire sauce, and stir. Remove from heat, and set aside.
   
2. Heat oil in a fryer or dutch oven to 350°F.
3. Drain wings, and pat dry with a paper towel. Gently place wings into the fryer in small batches. Fry for 6–8 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. Remove from the fryer, and place in a bowl.
4. Toss wings with sauce, and serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and blue cheese or ranch dressing.

Tip: You can cook the chicken wings in the oven instead of deep frying. Preheat oven to 400°F, and cook for 12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

*If using an air fryer, heat to 380°F, and bake for 15–20 minutes or until crispy, turning the wings every 5 minutes.
