Ingredients

3 pounds chicken wings (flats and drumettes), patted very dry1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)1 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon black pepper1/2 cup Frank's RedHot Original Sauce (or similar cayenne pepper sauce)1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted1 teaspoon garlic powder1/2 teaspoon white vinegar

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place an oven-safe wire rack on top. This allows air to circulate for crispier wings.
2
In a large bowl, toss the very dry chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. The baking powder helps to dry out the skin and make it extra crispy.
3
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching. Bake for 45-55 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4
While wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, and white vinegar until well combined.
5
Once the wings are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large clean bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the hot wings and toss gently until every wing is evenly coated.
6
Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks, if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Yes, air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket every 5-7 minutes, until crispy and cooked through. Toss in sauce as directed.

What if I don't like spicy food?

You can reduce the amount of hot sauce and increase the butter, or use a milder hot sauce. You can also try other sauces like BBQ or honey garlic.

How can I ensure the wings are extra crispy?

Patting the wings very dry before seasoning and using baking powder are key. Also, ensure they are in a single layer on a wire rack for proper air circulation during baking.
