Wings

Buffalo Sauce

Method

Prepare the Wings

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that the wings get crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken Wings

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat the wings evenly.

  3. 3

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they do not touch.

Bake the Wings

  1. 4

    Bake the Wings

    Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

Make the Buffalo Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the stick of unsalted butter.

  2. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the butter is melted, add the hot sauce, garlic powder, white vinegar, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  3. 7

    Simmer the Sauce

    Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Toss and Serve

  1. 8

    Toss Wings in Sauce

    Once the wings are done baking, place them in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

  2. 9

    Prepare to Serve

    Arrange the buffalo wings on a serving platter with celery sticks and a bowl of blue cheese dressing on the side.
