Nicely, I’m going to strive, and the reply, you guessed it, entails a grill.
It begins with what I like least a few conventional Buffalo wing: the breading. Yeah, I do know fried breading tastes good, however it isn’t actually all that good for you. What if you happen to may ditch the breading, and nonetheless retain the crispness? What if you happen to may really increase the flavour through the use of one of many oldest flavorings recognized to humankind? That, in fact, could be wooden smoke?

Drumroll, please: I provide the Buffaque wing, and it’s about to show you right into a rock star at your subsequent tailgating social gathering or cookout in 3 easy steps.
- Change the breading with a salt-pepper-smoked paprika spice rub , including baking powder to assist crisp the pores and skin.

- Give the wings a extra fashionable taste, substituting sriracha (Thai sizzling sauce) for the standard Tabasco. Oh, and add sliced jalapeños. A lot of jalapeños. Wings are purported to be sizzling. And sizzled garlic and cilantro—non-obligatory in fact—however I like how they pump up the flavour.
The outcome: a wing that pretty explodes with smoke and fireplace flavors—with out doughy breading to distract.
