Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Optional garnish: fresh parsley or green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place an oven-safe wire rack on top of the baking sheet for better airflow and crispiness.
Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels. Make sure to remove as much moisture as possible for crispier results.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Add the chicken wings and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Place the seasoned wings onto the wire rack, making sure to leave a little space between each wing for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce and vinegar until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are fully cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl, pour the Buffalo sauce over them, and toss until the wings are evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions if desired. Pair with celery sticks and your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, like ranch or blue cheese dressing.
