Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Place 1 Tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Pat the chicken wings dry and add in batches to the skillet.
Pan sear the chicken wings on each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. You're not cooking the wings in the skillet, just searing them.
Remove the chicken wings to the prepared cookie sheet.
Repeat in batches until all chicken wings are cooked.
Bake chicken wings for 15-20 minutes, until an inserted meat thermometer reads 165F.
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and buffalo sauce, adjusting the measurements to taste.
Place the chicken wings in a bowl and pour in the butter-buffalo sauce.
Toss the chicken wings until fully coated. Serve warm.
Notes
Add Spices: Season the wings with a teaspoon of garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt and black pepper and other spices.
Boneless: No need for boneless, use tenders or other pieces of chicken.
Rest: While you want these wings hot, let them rest in the sauce for a minute or two before serving for ultimate flavor.
Vegan: Cauliflower is perfect. It absorbs the flavors.
