Here’s a classic way to make Buffalo wings — crispy, spicy, and perfect for game day or snacking.
🍗 Buffalo Wings
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 lbs chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)
- 1 tbsp baking powder (NOT baking soda)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Buffalo Sauce:
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp honey or sugar (optional, for balance)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep Wings
- Pat wings dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- Toss with baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (this helps crisp the skin).
2️⃣ Bake Wings
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
- Bake 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until skin is golden and crispy.
3️⃣ Make Buffalo Sauce
- In a small saucepan or microwave, melt butter and mix with hot sauce and honey.
4️⃣ Toss Wings
- Place baked wings in a large bowl and pour Buffalo sauce over them.
- Toss to coat evenly.
5️⃣ Serve
- Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing.
Tips & Variations
- Extra Crispy: Let wings sit uncovered in fridge 1–2 hours before baking.
- Spicy Variation: Add cayenne or smoked paprika to sauce.
- Alternative Cooking: Air fry at 400°F for 20–25 minutes for extra crispiness.
I can also give you a deep-fried version or a sticky honey-Buffalo version if you want a richer, saucier wing.
Do you want me to give that version too?
