Make crispy, tangy buffalo wings at home for your next game day gathering. This recipe uses simple ingredients and straightforward steps for perfect results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Optional: Blue cheese dressing, celery sticks, carrot sticks for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
  5. While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine Frank’s RedHot sauce, melted butter, white vinegar, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce.
  6. Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is well combined and heated through. Do not boil.
  7. Once the wings are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl.
  8. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat.
  9. Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing, celery, and carrot sticks if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, ensure they are completely dry before tossing with baking powder.
  • You can adjust the amount of hot sauce and butter to your preference.
  • If you don’t have Frank’s RedHot, use your favorite cayenne pepper sauce.
  • Consider this recipe as a foundation for your meal planning, easily adaptable to different spice levels.
