Buffalo Wings Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by preheating the oven and preparing a spice rub with cornstarch, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic and onion powders, cayenne, black pepper, and salt. These spices adhere to the wings and cornstarch helps crisp the skin during baking. The wings are coated with neutral oil and the seasoning before being arranged on wire racks over parchment-lined baking sheets for even heat circulation and crisping.
Wings are baked first for 30 minutes, flipped, and baked for another 20-25 minutes until achieving the desired browning. Meanwhile, a sauce is prepared by melting butter and mixing in hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder, creating a balanced combination of buttery richness and spicy tang. Tossing the hot wings in this sauce ensures thorough coating and flavor penetration.
This approach delivers classic buffalo wings that can be served as appetizers or main dishes and pairs well with dips or celery. Using the oven and racks promotes a less greasy, crisp texture compared to frying while maintaining the characteristic buffalo wing flavor.
