Difficulty: Easy

Cuisine: American

Yield: 6 servings

Kitchen Utensils

• Large mixing bowl
• Baking sheet and Wire rack
• Parchment paper or aluminum foil
• Small saucepan
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Whisk and Tongs
• Serving bowl

Ingredients

For The Chicken Wings

• 2 pounds (900 g) chicken wings, split into drumettes and wingettes
• 1 tablespoon aluminum free baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (adjust to preferred heat)
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• ½ cup all purpose flour or cornstarch (for an extra crispy coating)

For The Buffalo Sauce

• ½ cup Frank’s RedHot Original Sauce
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons additional hot sauce (for extra heat)

Instructions

Step 1:

Dry the chicken wings thoroughly using paper towels to help them crisp during baking. Add the wings to a large mixing bowl, then sprinkle in the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, cooking oil, and the optional flour or cornstarch. Toss everything together until each wing has a light, even coating.

Step 2:

Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cover a baking tray with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer, leaving a little space between each piece so the hot air can circulate freely and create a crisp exterior.

Step 3:

Bake the wings for 20 minutes, then carefully turn each one over using tongs. Return them to the oven and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes until they develop a deep golden color and crunchy texture. The thickest part of the meat should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 4:

As the wings finish cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over gentle heat. Stir in the Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and extra hot sauce if you enjoy more heat. Mix until the sauce becomes smooth, glossy, and fully blended.

Step 5:

Place the freshly baked wings into a large bowl. Pour the warm Buffalo sauce over the top and gently toss until every piece is covered in a rich, spicy, buttery coating.

Step 6:

Transfer the saucy wings to a serving platter and serve while they are still hot and crispy. Pair them with fresh celery sticks, carrot sticks, and creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing for a classic Buffalo chicken wings experience.

How To Make More Delicious Buffalo Style Chicken Wings Recipe?

Use fresh chicken wings and pat them completely dry before seasoning for the crispiest texture. Bake the wings on a wire rack so hot air reaches every side evenly.

Brush or toss the wings in warm Buffalo sauce just before serving to keep the coating rich and glossy. Add a little extra butter for a smoother sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.

Serve immediately alongside celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce for the best flavor.

Can Buffalo Style Chicken Wings Recipe be frozen?

Buffalo Style Chicken Wings Recipe freezes very well after cooking and cooling completely. Place the wings in an airtight freezer safe container or a heavy duty freezer bag to help prevent freezer burn.
