Baked Buffalo Wings
Description
These Baked Buffalo Wings start with 3 pounds of party-style chicken wings tossed with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. The baking powder helps dry the skin to promote crispiness during baking. The seasoned wings are arranged on a rack over a foil-lined pan to allow air circulation and even cooking.
Baking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes results in wings that are crisp on the outside with a light golden color. After baking, the wings are immediately coated with 2 cups of buffalo sauce—either homemade or store-bought—infusing them with a tangy, spicy finish. The sauce complements the savory, smoky seasoning applied before baking.
These wings are traditionally served with celery sticks and a creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing, which balances the heat and adds creamy texture. Utilizing the oven instead of frying reduces mess while still delivering a crunchy exterior and tender meat inside, making this recipe practical for home preparation and gatherings.
