Buffalo Wings

Method

Cooking Buffalo Wings

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Wings

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Wings

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the wings and toss to ensure they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Wings

    Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    While the wings are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add in the hot sauce and garlic powder. Stir until well combined and heated through.

  5. 5

    Coat the Wings

    Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until they are well coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the buffalo wings hot with blue cheese dressing on the side.
