Baked Buffalo Wings
Description
This recipe starts by drying and lightly coating chicken wings with a mix of flour, baking powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Baking powder helps create a crispy skin during oven baking at 425°F. After baking and flipping halfway through, the wings are removed and coated evenly with buffalo sauce. A final broil crisps the sauce-coated wings to a golden finish. This approach avoids frying while achieving crispy, coated wings with deep flavor. The recipe recommends using drumettes and flats, removing tips, and optionally refrigerating the wings before baking to further dry the skin. Wings are traditionally served with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and a blue cheese or ranch dressing to balance the spicy sauce.
Wings can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven to maintain texture.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings split and tips removed
- 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ cups buffalo sauce store bought or homemade
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Pat the wings dry with a paper towel.
- In a large bowl combine the chicken wings with flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a piece of parchment paper on top. Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the parchment paper.
- If time allows, refrigerate the wings for 30 mintues.
- Bake wings for 20 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove wings from the oven and pour the sauce over top. Mix the wings on the parchment paper until coated. Slide parchment out from under the wings.
- Turn oven to broil and broil wings until golden.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, let wings dry in the fridge for 30-60 minutes before baking.
- Use baking powder, not baking soda, for the coating to ensure proper crisping.
- Adjust broiling time if using sauces with higher sugar content to avoid burning.
- Wings store well for up to 4 days refrigerated and reheat best in the oven.
- Serve with carrot and celery sticks along with blue cheese or ranch dressing.
