These Shore Lunch Spicy Buffalo fried wings are dangerously close to being ‘just’ fried chicken. But, oh my goodness me, let me tell you just how great these wings are. The breading is out-of-this-world fantastic. Such a wonderful crunch and seasoned to absolute perfection. With a nice essence of Buffalo Wing flavor and spiciness. Not overpowering, but there. These wings are truly epic. I could eat these little beauties all day long and that’s no lie! For more Buffalo wing-inspired goodness, drizzle the wings with Buffalo sauce right before serving, or serve some on the side for dipping!
Add Sauce. If You Want To. But…
Whatever you do, don’t go tossing your Shore Lunch Spicy Buffalo fried wings in sauce. You’ve spent all that time getting that wonderful crunchy coating on them. You treated them like they were gold. You watched them fry, waiting for that perfect moment to take them out of the hot oil. The right color, the right crunch. Why in the world would you want to beat them to death in a bowl, tossing them with a sauce? If you gotta sauce them, either do I as I already mentioned and dip them in the sauce on the side or brush the sauce on with a brush. Any no matter what, don’t hit them with a cold, refrigerated sauce. Make sure your sauce is at least at room temperature first. Or even better, warmed slightly on the stovetop!

But remember… There’s nothing wrong at all with serving and devouring these wings without any sauce whatsoever. In fact, I highly recommend it! They’re delicious without any kind of sauce! For me, I didn’t need anything extra. I found these wings to be superb just as they were, hot out of the fryer. Man, what great wings!
