Crispy Buffalo Wings Recipe
Description
This Crispy Buffalo Wings Recipe uses a dry coating of aluminum-free baking powder, salt, and garlic powder to draw out moisture and promote a crisp skin during oven baking. The wings are spaced on a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet and baked at a high temperature for 50 minutes total, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispness and thorough cooking.
The buffalo sauce is a traditional blend of melted unsalted butter and Franks Original Red Hot Sauce, sweetened slightly with granulated or brown sugar to balance the heat and acidity. Once baked, wings are tossed in this sauce to evenly coat and add rich, spicy flavor.
These wings can be served as an appetizer or main dish with dipping sauces of choice. The baking method creates a less greasy alternative to frying while retaining satisfying crunch and bold flavor.
