Buffalo Wings
Description
Buffalo Wings begin by coating freshly dried chicken wings in a blend of flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt, which forms a seasoned crust during baking. After chilling, the wings bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit to develop a golden, slightly crispy exterior. Flipping midway helps even cooking. Once baked, they are tossed in buffalo wing sauce to infuse them with signature spicy, tangy flavor. A final broil step crisps the wings further without burning them, providing a satisfying texture contrast.
The wings can be served hot as an appetizer or snack, often accompanied by celery sticks and dipping sauce. The spiced flour coating and buffalo sauce create a layered flavor profile with mild heat and garlic undertones. Baking rather than frying keeps the process simpler and less oily.
The recipe calls for chilling the coated wings uncovered before baking, which helps the coating adhere better and possibly develop a firmer texture after cooking. Watching closely under the broiler prevents burning while achieving crisp edges. This preparation works well for parties or casual meals where finger food is appreciated.
