Baked Buffalo Wings Recipe
Description
This recipe starts with chicken drumettes trimmed and rinsed, then dried carefully to remove excess moisture. The wings are tossed in a mixture of flour, baking powder, garlic salt with parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The baking powder helps to crisp the skin during baking. Wings are arranged in a single layer on a greased foil-lined baking sheet and baked at 450°F for about 30 minutes, turning halfway to brown evenly.
While baking, the sauce is prepared by melting butter with hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce, blending for a rich, tangy coating. Once the wings are fully cooked and crispy, they are tossed in the sauce to ensure full flavor coverage. These wings combine heat and savory richness with a crispy exterior and tender meat.
They can be served warm with traditional accompaniments like celery sticks, ranch, or blue cheese dressing. This baking method avoids frying but still provides a satisfying crispness.

- Once the wings are baked, you will toss the wings in the sauce and serve warm.
