Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 2 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 6 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 6 sticks Celery sticks (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy wings.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other. This allows for proper air circulation during baking.
Step 5
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. The wings should be crispy and golden brown when done.
Step 6
While the wings are baking, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce and garlic powder until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 7
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 8
Serve the wings immediately with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
