Print Recipe

Let’s be real—nothing hits the spot quite like a plate of Buffalo wings. Crispy on, juicy on the inside, and coated with that tangy buttery sauce mixed with spice

Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 lbs chicken wings (split into drumettes and flats)

    • 1 tablespoon baking powder (NOT baking soda)

    • 1 teaspoon salt

    • 1 teaspoon black pepper

    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (adds a smoky kick!)

    • Buffalo sauce (recipe above)

Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
    2. Pat the wings dry. The drier, the better!
    3. Toss wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure they’re evenly coated.
    4. Arrange wings on the rack in a single layer. Don’t crowd them.
    5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway. They should be golden brown and crispy.
    6. Toss wings in Buffalo sauce. Do this in a large bowl for even coating.
    7. Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing. And don’t forget celery and carrot sticks!

Notes

  • Pat wings dry for max crispiness.
  • Use baking powder (not soda!) to crisp up the skin.
  • Space them out on the pan—no crowding!
  • Flip halfway through baking for even browning.
  • Sauce at the end, never before—soggy wings = no fun.
  • Adjust heat level with more hot sauce (or tone it down with butter).
  • Serve hot & fresh—Buffalo wings are best straight out of the oven.
