Paleo Buffalo Chicken Wings
My husband LOVES chicken wings. Like eating 25 at a sitting, taking advantage of “all you can eat wing nights.” loves them . So imagine his excitement when I shared that he could eat his wings without compromising our newly adopted Paleo eating lifestyle! And even if you aren’t diving into the Paleo craze, these wings are still a great Saturday afternoon snack, or favorite tailgating food!

The recipe says to baste with remaining sauce (what remaining sauce)?
If you have any remaining sauce from when you had mixed the wings with it in the bowl.
Where do you find ghee? I’m not familiar with it
Is that a paleo thing? If I don’t do paleo can I use butter?
Kari – yes – you can substitue butter for the Ghee.
