Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.25 cup Ghee
- 0.5 cup Franks RedHot Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Distilled white vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a wire rack on a large baking sheet. Use foil or parchment paper to line the baking sheet for easier cleanup.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Step 3
Pat dry the chicken wings thoroughly using paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This step is crucial for crispy wings.
Step 4
Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the spice mixture. Toss well to coat all wings evenly.
Step 5
Place the coated wings on the wire rack, making sure they are evenly spaced and not touching each other.
Step 6
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. After 35 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
While the wings are baking, melt the ghee in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the Franks RedHot Sauce and distilled white vinegar until well combined.
Step 8
Once wings are out of the oven, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat each wing evenly.
Step 9
Serve immediately, hot and enjoy! These wings are perfect on their own or served with celery and carrot sticks for a fresh crunch.
