This inventive spin on Buffalo chicken wings has all the spicy savoriness you'd expect in a much less messy-to-eat package. The cooked chicken gets bathed in tangy hot sauce for that signature mouthwatering burn. But what takes this over the top is how all the usual wing accompaniments—celery, lettuce, blue cheese, and onion—combine in a zesty slaw that cools the palate with every bite. Though this recipe makes a single serving, it's easily scaled up to serve more people.
