This is a healthy take on buffalo wings, which are usually deep fried. Instead, I slow-roast meaty drumsticks until they're crispy outside and fall-apart tender inside. Then I toss them with a sauce that contains anti-inflammatory spices and healthy fat.
Look for a hot sauce without additives like Frank's Red Hot.

Ingredients:
- 2 pounds bone-in chicken drumsticks, wings, and/or thighs
- Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper (or more cayenne pepper)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground peppercorn
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400F and prepare a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. (If you don't have a wire rack, you can place them directly on a baking sheet.)
- Season the chicken pieces generously with salt all over and place them on the rack.
- Roast the chicken until crispy outside fall-apart tender inside, about a hour.
- Prepare a saucepan of gently simmering water. Set a large glass or stainless steel bowl on top of the saucepan and add the butter, hot sauce, cayenne, chipotle, peppercorn, and a small pinch of salt.
- Once the butter melts, turn off the heat and transfer the bowl to a heat-proof surface. Whisk the mixture together until smooth. Taste it for seasoning and make any necessary adjustments.
- Toss the roasted chicken pieces in the sauce until they are thoroughly coated. Serve immediately with celery sticks and crumbled blue cheese if you wish.
