Ingredients

  • 907 gms chicken wings
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp cayenne powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Baked Buffalo chicken wings are a tasty and much healthier option when compared to fried wings; they are great for a party or an interesting snack.
  • This recipe of baked buffalo chicken wings combines crispy oven-baked wings with bold, tangy buffalo sauce, making them irresistible to wing lovers.
  • With only a few easy steps, you can make these delicious wings right in the comfort of your own home.
  • Begin with the preparation of the chicken wings to come at around 2-1/2 pounds.
  • Pat them dry using paper towels since less moisture helps achieve a crunchier texture.
  • Put the wings in a big bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of salt as well as 1 teaspoon of black pepper for your basic flavour.
  • Now pour 3/4 cup of buffalo sauce all over the wings and toss to coat each wing evenly.
  • For the dry coating mixture, grind 1/4 cup of cornstarch in a bowl.
  • Add this to 1 teaspoon of cayenne powder for spice and 2 teaspoons of garlic powder for depth.
  • Toss the ingredients well.
  • Season the chicken wings with the prepared dry mixture and toss each wing so that it will be evenly coated.
  • This layer of cornstarch and spices helps ensure the baked wings have a crispy texture.
  • Next, prepare your baking setup.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to catch drips and prevent sticking, then set a wire cooling rack on top.
  • Spray the rack with cooking spray so the wings don't stick.
  • Place the coated chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared rack.
  • For best results, refrigerate the wings for at least an hour.
  • This step allows the coating to adhere better and enhances crispiness.
  • Preheat your oven to 425 F (220 C) when you're ready to bake.
  • While the oven heats, prepare the buffalo butter glaze in a small bowl.
  • Combine 1/2 cup of melted butter (one stick) with 2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
  • Dip each chicken wing into the buffalo butter mixture, ensuring they are well coated, and then return them to the wire rack.
  • Bake the wings in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
  • Flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure even baking on all sides.
  • Once the wings are cooked, take them out of the oven and let them cool a bit before serving.
  • For a classic combination, serve this recipe of Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side.
