Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup non-dairy hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the cornstarch mixture and toss to coat each wing thoroughly.
Place the coated wings onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the wings.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the non-dairy hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, and cayenne pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Once the wings are crispy and cooked through, remove them from the oven.
Transfer the wings to a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over them.
Toss the wings until they are evenly coated in the sauce.
Serve the buffalo wings hot with your favorite non-dairy ranch or blue cheese dressing, if desired.
