Notes

*Keep a close eye on these during the last 10 minutes as they can quickly go from crisp to burnt!

**These are particularly pungent as they are cooking. When you open the oven to stir at the halfway you’re gonna get a blast of spicy buffalo steam and it can sting your eyes. So it’s best to open the oven door and wait a few seconds for it to dissipate.

***If you like spicy food, ½ teaspoon of cayenne is a good place to start, but if you can’t handle heat ¼ teaspoon of cayenne will be more your speed. These are spicy!
