Oven Baked Buffalo Wings
Description
This recipe starts by drying the chicken wings and coating them evenly with a seasoned flour mixture containing all-purpose flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt. The coated wings rest uncovered in the refrigerator for at least an hour to promote crispiness during baking. Baking occurs on a cooking rack over a foil-lined pan to allow air circulation and fat drippings to collect below.
The wings bake for 25 minutes before being turned and baked an additional 25 minutes, developing a crisp, golden crust. Meanwhile, a sauce of melted butter, Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce, honey, soy sauce, and salt is prepared for coating. Wings are dipped in the sauce several at a time and returned to the oven briefly to set the sauce.
This method results in wings that combine a crisp exterior with a sticky, mildly spicy glaze, suitable for casual meals or appetizer servings. The recipe notes that the spice level is mild, but cayenne can be increased for more heat.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt divided
- 20 chicken wings all drummettes, all wingettes, or a combination, pieces
- ½ cup butter melted
- ½ cup hot sauce Brand: Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Spray a cooling rack generously with cooking spray and place in the baking sheet.
- Dry the wings well with paper towels.
- Place the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic power and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large Ziploc bag. Shake to mix well.
- Add the dried wings to the bag with the flour mixture and toss until well coated.
- Remove the wings, shaking off excess flour coating, and place on the prepared cooling rack.
- Place the prepared wings in the refrigerator, uncovered, for at least one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Bake the wings for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, turn each wing over and return to the oven.
- Bake for an additional 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the melted butter, hot sauce, honey, soy sauce and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl.
- Remove the wings from the oven and dip them 3 or 4 at a time in the sauce mixture.
- Place the coated wings back on the pan, return the pan to the oven and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, place on a serving dish and drizzle remaining sauce over wings.
Notes
- Using all drummettes, all wingettes, or a mix is acceptable and personal preference.
- Increase cayenne pepper for spicier wings; the recipe as written is mildly spiced.
- Chilling the coated wings before baking is essential for achieving crispness without frying.
