These oven-baked buffalo chicken wings are crispy, juicy, and coated in a perfectly tangy hot sauce. No deep fryer needed—just big flavor and finger-licking results straight from your oven.

🍴 Ingredients

• 2½ pounds chicken wings, split and tips removed
• 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ cup Frank’s RedHot or your favorite buffalo sauce
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• Optional: celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving

🔥 Instructions

Prep the Wings:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Pat the wings very dry with paper towels—this is key for crispiness.

Season and Coat:
In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Bake to Crisp:
Arrange wings in a single layer on the rack. Bake for 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with buffalo sauce until combined.

Sauce and Toss:
Transfer baked wings to a large bowl, pour the sauce over, and toss until wings are fully coated.

Serve Hot:
Serve immediately with celery sticks and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
