Notes
- Ensure you are using buffalo sauce, not just hot sauce for best results.
- The batter is very thick, be sure to allow excess to drip off (or even give it a little shake if needed).
- Do not overcrowd the basket, cook in a single layer. Cook in batches if needed to ensure that the air has lots of space to circulate.
- For a crisper breading, serve with hot sauce on the side for dipping. (Garlicky Aioli is another favorite dip).
