Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed
- 1 ½ tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp seasoned salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 ½ cups buffalo sauce, store-bought or homemade
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Dry the Wings
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels; this step is key to achieving a crispy texture.
- Season the Wings
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with flour, baking powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet
- Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil, then place a sheet of parchment paper on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the parchment paper.
- Optional Chill Time
- If you have extra time, refrigerate the wings for 30 minutes to help them crisp up even more during baking.
- Bake the Wings
- Bake the wings for 20 minutes, then flip them and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Coat with Buffalo Sauce
- Remove the wings from the oven, pour the buffalo sauce over them, and toss to coat evenly. Slide the parchment out from under the wings.
- Broil for Crispiness
- Turn the oven to broil and broil the wings until they’re golden and the sauce is bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
Tips for Perfect Buffalo Wings
- Pat the Wings Dry: Drying the wings thoroughly helps the coating adhere and ensures crispiness.
- Baking Powder Trick: Adding baking powder to the seasoning mix helps the skin crisp up without frying.
- Broil Carefully: Broil the wings just long enough for a crispy, saucy finish. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
- Serve Fresh: These wings are best served immediately to enjoy their crispy, saucy perfection.
