THC Buffalo Wings: Crispy, Spicy & Perfect for Game Day
If you love crispy chicken wings and bold buffalo flavor, this THC buffalo wings recipe is a fun twist on classic game day snacks. You still get that familiar restaurant-style buffalo wings recipe, but with a smooth, relaxing cannabis kick thanks to infused butter.
Whether you’re watching the game in Toronto, hosting friends in Vancouver, chilling in Calgary or Edmonton, or having a quiet night in Winnipeg, Halifax, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Regina, Whitehorse, Yellowknife or Iqaluit, these wings fit right in with your favorite party food ideas.
If you don’t already have infused butter made, you can follow our step-by-step guide: How to Make THC Butter (https://stickyselects.co/thc-butter-recipe/) before you start this recipe.
Ingredients
-
1 lb chicken wings
-
½ cup hot sauce
-
3 tbsp THC butter
-
1 tbsp regular butter
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp smoked paprika
-
Salt and pepper to taste
This base works whether you prefer baked chicken wings, air fryer wings, or even deep-fried wings.
Step 1: Prep the Wings
Pat the wings dry with paper towel. Dry skin is the secret to crispy chicken wings.
Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 2: Cook Until Crispy
Place your wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet or in your air fryer basket.
-
Oven method: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned and crisp.
-
Air fryer method: Cook at 380–400°F for 20–25 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through.
Either way, you’re aiming for that classic bar-style texture you’d expect from the best buffalo wings recipe.
Step 3: Make the Infused Wing Sauce
While the wings finish cooking, make your homemade wing sauce:
-
In a small saucepan on low heat, add the THC butter, regular butter, hot sauce, and smoked paprika.
-
Stir gently until everything is melted and smooth.
-
Keep the heat low so you don’t overheat the THC and lose potency.
If you want a milder effect, use a little less THC butter and more regular butter. For stronger wings, do the opposite.
Step 4: Toss and Serve
Add the hot, crispy wings to a large bowl.
Pour the warm infused sauce over top and toss until every piece is coated.
Serve right away with celery, carrots, and your favorite dip. These wings are perfect for Super Bowl snacks, movie nights, or anytime you want easy chicken wings that still feel special.
Dosing Tips and Safety
Because this is an infused recipe, go slow:
-
The strength depends on how potent your THC butter is.
-
Not every wing will be dosed exactly the same.
-
Start with one or two wings, wait at least 60–90 minutes, and see how you feel before going back for more.
