Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Wire Rack
- 1 Tongs
- 1 Saucepan
Ingredients
- 2-3 pounds Chicken Wings
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1/2 cup Hot Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings cook evenly and get crispy all around.
- In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better and ensures crispiness.
- Toss the chicken wings in the seasoned flour mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Place the coated chicken wings on the wire rack, leaving space between each wing to allow air to circulate.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce until well combined. You can adjust the amount of hot sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
- Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Serve the Buffalo Wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks on the side.
Notes
- Crispy Wings: For extra crispy wings, ensure to pat them dry with paper towels before coating them in the seasoned flour mixture.
- Adjust Spice Level: Control the spiciness of the wings by adjusting the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce used in the Buffalo sauce.
- Baking Temperature: Maintain the oven temperature at 400°F (200°C) for optimal crispiness while baking the wings.
- Even Coating: Toss the wings thoroughly in the hot sauce mixture to ensure each wing is evenly coated with the delicious Buffalo flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the Buffalo Wings immediately after tossing them in the sauce to preserve their crispiness. Enjoy them hot with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks.
