Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 2 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 6 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 6 sticks Celery sticks (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy wings.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other. This allows for proper air circulation during baking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. The wings should be crispy and golden brown when done.
While the wings are baking, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce and garlic powder until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Serve the wings immediately with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
