Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wings
Chicken wings are always a winner. And these ones are crispy
Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 2 kg 4 pounds chicken wings
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- pinch cracked pepper
Buffalo Sauce
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 cup Frank’s Original Red Hot Sauce
- 1-2 Tbsp honey white sugar or brown sugar (adjust to suit your tastes)
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and preheat oven to 230°C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a heat-proof wire rack inside.
- Pat dry chicken wings liberally with paper towels, squeezing out as much moisture as you can. Transfer them to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper together, whisking well to combine, and sprinkle the mixture over the wings. Toss wings through the baking powder mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange on rack, leaving about 1-inch of space between each wing.
- Bake for 30 minutes; flip and continue to cook until crisp and golden brown, (about 20-30 minutes longer), until golden browned and crispy.
- While wings are cooking, whisk together hot sauce, butter and sugar. Toss wings through the sauce to evenly coat.
- Serve wings immediately with blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing, and celery sticks.
Notes
For crispier wings, follow steps 1-4. Then refrigerate wings uncovered overnight. This ensures they are thoroughly dried out.
