This recipe delivers ultra-crispy chicken wings baked to perfection and tossed in a spicy tangy buffalo sauce. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for parties or casual meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900 g) chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats (skin-on for crispiness)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Optional garnishes: chopped fresh parsley or chives, celery sticks, blue cheese dressing

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss wings in a large bowl with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and arrange wings in a single layer, leaving space between each wing.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake wings for 20 minutes, flip, then bake another 20-25 minutes until skin is golden and crisp. Optionally broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
  4. While wings bake, melt butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
  5. Transfer baked wings to a large bowl. Pour sauce over wings and toss gently with tongs to coat without losing crispiness. Garnish and serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly before coating to ensure crispiness. Use baking powder, not baking soda, to avoid off-flavors. Toss wings in sauce just before serving to keep skin crispy. Broil briefly at the end for extra crunch. For gluten-free, verify hot sauce and substitute Worcestershire sauce with tamari. Adjust cayenne pepper to control heat level.
