Description

Make crispy baked chicken wings coated in a tangy Buffalo sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder and salt until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. While the wings bake, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
  7. Remove the butter from the heat and stir in the hot sauce and vinegar. Mix well.
  8. Place the cooked wings in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss until every piece is coated.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can chill the seasoned wings in the refrigerator, uncovered, for at least one hour before baking.
  • Use your favorite brand of cayenne pepper-based hot sauce for the authentic flavor.
