Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe
This Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe is SO EASY! Crispy baked wings tossed in a spicy, buttery sauce perfect for game day or any occasion.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowl
- Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings split and tips removed
- 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup hot pepper sauce
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is key to achieving that crispy texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings, baking powder, sea salt, and garlic powder. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the hot pepper sauce and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately toss them in the sauce mixture until they are fully coated.
- Transfer the sauced wings to a serving plate and enjoy them hot! You can serve these with your favorite dipping sauces and sides.
Notes
- Use aluminum-free baking powder to ensure crispiness without any off flavors.
- Adjust the heat by varying the amount or type of hot pepper sauce used.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
