The Best baked buffalo chicken wings recipe

I’m so excited to share with you my favorite baked buffalo chicken wings recipe. This dish has been a staple in our household for years, and I just can’t get enough of it.

The combination of crispy exterior, juicy interior, and spicy buffalo sauce is absolute perfection. My kids love helping me in the kitchen, especially when we’re making this recipe – they get to be in charge of tossing the wings in the sauce and sprinkling on the blue cheese crumbles.

It’s a great way to get them involved in cooking and teach them about flavors and textures. Plus, it’s a recipe that’s easy to make in large quantities, so it’s perfect for family gatherings or game day parties.

And let’s not forget about the health benefits – baked wings are much lower in calories than deep-fried ones, and you can control the amount of sauce you use to keep it from getting too spicy. As a busy mom, I appreciate recipes that are quick, easy, and delicious – and this one fits the bill every time.

🥘Ingredients

For the Wings

2 lbs chicken wings, tips removed and wings cut into 2 pieces
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder

For the Buffalo Sauce

1/4 cup hot sauce
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tbsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set a baking rack on top to elevate the wings.
3This ensures they cook evenly and become crispy.
4In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken wings, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
5Toss to coat the wings evenly.
6This will help create a crispy exterior.
7Ensure the wings are evenly coated before placing them on the baking rack.
8Place the wings on the prepared baking rack, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
9This allows for even cooking and crispiness.
10Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
11You should see the skin becoming golden and crispy.
12The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
13While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce.
14In a small bowl, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and salt until well combined.
15This sauce will add a tangy kick to the wings.
16Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
17Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large bowl.
18Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat evenly.
19Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch or blue cheese.

📝Notes

Tips: For extra crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before baking. You can also increase the baking time by 5-10 minutes if you prefer a darker, more crispy skin. For a milder version, reduce the amount of hot sauce in the buffalo sauce.
