How do you make Buffalo chicken legs?!
I would like them to taste like Buffalo chicken wings, but using the legs instead.
How do I cook the legs for this? Does anyone have a good Buffalo chicken legs recipe?
Thanks
Answers: I have about 10 chicken legs.

Pat the legs very dry and then add salt/pepper/cayenne to taste. Fry the legs in 375 degree peanut until golden brown - around 20 minutes. Melt 1/4 cup butter and add 1/2 cup Frank's Original Red Hot sauce but don't bring it to a boil, just heat it through. After draining the legs put them into a bowl and pour the sauce over them. Coat the legs quickly, remove and serve.

INGREDIENTS
12 chicken drumsticks
1 (5 ounce) bottle hot red pepper sauce
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups blue cheese salad dressing
DIRECTIONS
Place the drumsticks in a slow cooker, and sprinkle evenly with pieces of butter. Pour the hot sauce over the chicken, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cover, and cook on High for 3 hours, or until tender. Serve chicken legs with blue cheese dressing on the side.
This is the classic wing recipe, but I modified it for legs...Preheat your oven to 425F. Lay your chicken legs out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, drain off any fat and water (this will help them crisp up), and roast for another 20-25, until they are crispy. Meanwhile, in a sauce pan, melt a bit of butter - about a 1/4 stick, and add about 1 cup of Franks Red Hot...simmer until butter melts and chicken legs are done. Place the legs in a large dish, and toss with your hot sauce and serve! Yum!
