Gluten Free Buffalo Wings

Craving gluten free buffalo wings and can’t find a lot of restaurants that make them? I know the struggle. Many restaurants don’t have a gluten free option, especially if they do not have a dedicated gluten free fryer, so making them at home can be a great option. These are also naturally dairy free as well! Gear up for football season with these delicious and crispy gluten free buffalo wings! These make for the best appetizer for the ultimate game-day snack or can be paired with a salad or vegetables for a meal all-year-round. Crafted from all-natural ingredients, these family-friendly treats are bursting with flavor. Since you are making them at home, you can also control the oil you are using. I made my gluten free buffalo wings in the air fryer, but I have provided instructions for cooking them in the oven or in a skillet as well. Bring these to your next party or tailgate for a safe option without compromising any of the flavor!
