Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup hot sauce (preferably Frank's RedHot)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 pieces celery sticks
- 0.5 cup blue cheese dressing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with cooking spray to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels to ensure the skin gets crispy in the oven.
In a large bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and baking powder. Add the chicken wings and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned chicken wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer. Make sure they do not touch each other for even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce, white vinegar, and cayenne pepper, stirring until all ingredients are well combined. Remove the sauce from heat and set aside.
Once the chicken wings are done, remove them from the oven and place them in a large, clean bowl. Pour the Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss them until they are thoroughly coated.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with celery sticks and accompanied by blue cheese dressing for dipping.
