Classic Buffalo Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- Celery sticks and blue cheese dressing, for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings cook evenly and get crispy.
- Prepare the Wings:
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
- In a large bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Drizzle the vegetable oil over the wings and toss again to ensure they are well coated.
- Bake the Wings:
- Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure they are not touching each other to allow for even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Flip the wings halfway through cooking to ensure they cook evenly.
- Prepare the Buffalo Sauce:
- While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add the hot sauce and white vinegar. Stir to combine and heat until the sauce is warmed through. Remove from heat.
- Coat the Wings:
- When the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
- Serve:
- Serve the buffalo wings hot with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side.
Tips:
- For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your taste preference.
- You can also grill the wings instead of baking them for a smoky flavor.
Enjoy your delicious homemade buffalo chicken wings!
