Instructions
- Coat the Wings: Preheat oven to 400°F. Add wing portions to a large bowl and drizzle with oil. Toss wings until well coated. Sprinkle starch, salt, and pepper over the wings and toss again until the wings are completely coated.
- Bake in the Oven: Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and then place an oven-safe wire rack on top of it. Spray rack with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken wings evenly spaced (and not touching!) on the wire rack. Bake wings in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Toss in Sauce: During the last 5 minutes of baking, add wing sauce ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and whisk until smooth. Add cooked chicken wings to a large bowl and toss in the buffalo wing sauce.
- Serve buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese or homemade ranch dressing, celery sticks, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Enjoy!
Notes
- Prep-Ahead Instructions:
- Make the buffalo sauce and mix the dry ingredients for the coating.
- Storage Directions:
- Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days. To freeze, seal in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 3 months. To reheat with crispy results, warm in a 350°F oven or air fryer until heated through.
- Recipe Tips
- Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce is recommended, but Crystal's or Sriracha sauce may also be used.
- Substitute with a vegan butter substitute or olive oil if dairy-free.
- Leave out honey if on a low-carb or keto diet.
- Make it easy. Find wingettes or drumettes that have already been cut to save on prep time.
- Lift them up. Bake the wings on a wire rack so the hot air can reach all of the sides for maximum crispiness.
- Keep 'em separated. Arrange the wings so they are not touching, otherwise they will not crisp on all sides.
- Flip halfway. Yet another way to ensure the best results is to turn the wings over with tongs to expose both sides to the heat.
- Work ahead. Make the buffalo sauce up to 1 week in advance so it's ready to go.
