This is how I do it. I make a batch of this sauce, toss in some right-out-of-the-fryer wings, and get to it. Heck, the wings can be cooked in any way as long as I’ve got this sauce to toss them in. Air fryer. Baked. Grilled. I don’t care. Just give me some sauce and big ole stack of napkins. I love me some three ingredient Buffalo wings. I want sauce dripping down my arms and I want it on my shirt. And all in my beard. Yeah, it’s not pretty, I know that. But it’s good. Darned good.

Just Good. Really Good.
No one is going to judge you when you devour some three ingredient Buffalo wings. They know you’re eating the best there is. The classic. Buttery. Crazy good cayenne flavor with yummy spices added in. And a hint of garlic. So good and yet so simple.
Pro tip: I like to dip fries or potato chips in any sauce that drips down onto my plate.

Three Ingredient Buffalo Wings
Ingredients
For the sauce
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup Frank's RedHot Original Hot Sauce
For the wings
- 3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
Instructions
For the sauce
- To make the sauce, combine the butter, garlic powder and hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted. Keep warm until ready to use.
For the wings
- Toss wings in sauce until ready to use: Note: I prefer to NOT toss deep-fried battered wings in sauce as it knocks the coating off the wings. Instead, I prefer to dip the wings in the sauce or brush it onto the wings. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.
