The secret behind these guilt free buffalo chicken wings is a homemade dairy free sauce paired with extra crispy chicken. Be sure to roast the chicken before adding the sauce for the optimum level of crunchy skin to tangy sauce.
Serve with our paleo ranch dipping sauce and homemade french fries and you’ll wonder why you ever ate the take out version.
