Satisfy your cravings for bold, fiery flavors without the extra salt with these irresistible Low Sodium Buffalo Chicken Wings! This recipe transforms classic buffalo wings into a heart-healthy option by using salt-free hot sauce and unsalted butter to create a spicy and tangy sauce that perfectly coats the crispy, oven-baked wings. A thoughtful blend of seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder ensures maximum flavor, while baking powder guarantees the wings turn out perfectly crisp without the need for frying. With just 15 minutes of prep time and the convenience of baking, these wings are ideal for game days, parties, or any occasion that calls for finger-licking goodness. Serve them with celery sticks and a low sodium dip for the ultimate guilt-free indulgence that everyone will love!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
In a large bowl, mix the baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper together.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
Toss the wings in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the low sodium buffalo sauce by melting the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the salt-free hot sauce, white vinegar, and honey. Mix until well combined and heated through.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Transfer the wings to a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over the wings. Toss to coat them evenly.
Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce or celery sticks on the side.
