Description
These homemade crispy buffalo wings are coated in a tangy hot sauce, perfect for a quick dinner or game night snack.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 lb chicken wings (wings and drummettes split, wingtips removed)
- 1 Tbsp baking powder (use aluminum free)
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup Franks Original Red Hot Sauce
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar (or brown sugar) (The sugar helps the sauce cling and tames the heat.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Thoroughly pat dry the chicken with a paper towel.
- Preheat the oven to 450˚F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack over the pan.
- Combine the baking powder, salt, and garlic powder in a bowl, and sprinkle over the chicken. Toss to combine.
- Arrange chicken on the prepared wire rack.
Cooking
- Bake the chicken for 25 minutes, flip it over, and bake for another 25 minutes or until crisp and cooked through.
- In a medium-size bowl, combine sauce ingredients.
- Remove chicken from the baking sheet to a bowl. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and toss to coat.
Notes
Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch. For variations, try cutting the wings into smaller pieces for parties or adding slaw for a wing taco night. Store leftovers in an airtight container, refrigerate for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
