I use the Frank's Buffalo sauce or sometimes the Frank's Hot Buffalo. I think I'd probably need to add a little something to Frank's Red Hot. The Buffalo sauces have "natural butter type flavor" but technically no butter. I'm not too worried about healthy ingredients when I'm eating skin-on chicken wings dipped in chunky blue cheese dressing!

But do any of those recipes actually turn out as good as just buying them from your local wing place? I've not found one yet, even those that claim to be just as crispy as frying. Share it please if you've found it!

chgoeditor, does your friend use a convection oven? I have another recipe that claims crispy convection oven wings, but I haven't tested it out yet. It will be a winter project for me, since I enjoy them grilled when it's nice out.
