MARK BITTMAN'S MINIMALIST BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• Pat the wings dry very well with paper towels. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking, salt them lightly, and spread them on a baking sheet, leaving at least an inch of space between each wing.
• Heat the broiler with a rack 4 to 6 inches from the flame.
• Broil in the oven on a sheet pan until the wings are evenly well-browned and crisp, flipping them midway through. This should take 20 to 25 minutes overall, but will depend on the strength of your broiler, so peek often!
• While the wings cook, in a large bowl, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, vinegar, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste (you won't need much).
• When the wings are browned and crisp, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Return the wings to the pan, leaving excess sauce in the bowl, and broil for a few minutes until sizzling and nicely browned on both sides, flipping once.
• Serve hot with the extra sauce on the side or, for extra spicy, saucy wings, toss back in the sauce before serving.
