Ingredients

For the Wings:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (about 10-12 wings)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Buffalo Sauce:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

  • ½ cup hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

  • Salt, to taste

For Serving:

  • Celery sticks

  • Carrot sticks

  • Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing

Instructions

Preparing the Wings:

  1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and place a cooling rack on top for extra crispiness.

  2. Prepare the wings: Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.

  3. Arrange and bake: Lay the wings in a single layer on the cooling rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.

Making the Buffalo Sauce:

  1. Melt the butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add hot sauce, garlic powder, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until well combined.

  2. Simmer the sauce: Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or vinegar, if needed.

Coating the Wings:

  1. Toss the wings: Once wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour buffalo sauce over them and toss gently to coat evenly.

Notes

For a sweeter sauce, add 1-2 tablespoons of honey to the buffalo sauce.For extra crispy wings, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking.Add garlic for extra flavor by incorporating minced garlic into the buffalo sauce.
