This recipe for buffalo wing mushrooms is a simple and easy way to make a delicious and flavorful appetizer or snack. It is made with a few simple ingredients that you can find at most grocery stores.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound portobello mushrooms, sliced

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot Sauce

  • 1/4 cup butter

  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. Dip the mushroom slices in the flour mixture to coat evenly.

  4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  5. Add the hot sauce and water to the melted butter and whisk until combined.

  6. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the mushroom slices and toss to coat evenly.

Tips and Tricks:

  • For a spicier sauce, add more hot sauce.

  • For a sweeter sauce, add a teaspoon of honey or brown sugar to the hot sauce mixture.

  • To make the mushrooms ahead of time, assemble them up to step 6. Cover the baking sheet tightly with foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to bake, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are crispy and tender.
