Make game day-worthy buffalo wings in your oven with crispy skin and a tangy, spicy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Optional: Blue cheese dressing, celery sticks, carrot sticks for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispy skin.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
  5. Bake for 40-50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  6. While the wings bake, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine Frank’s RedHot sauce, butter, white vinegar, and minced garlic.
  7. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
  9. Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing, celery, and carrot sticks if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, you can place a wire rack on the baking sheet and arrange the wings on the rack. This allows air to circulate around the wings.
  • If you prefer a milder sauce, you can reduce the amount of hot sauce or add a touch more butter.
  • These wings are best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or an air fryer to regain crispiness.
