Wings

Method

Wings

1

Preheat and dry

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the 10 chicken wings dry with paper towels; removing surface moisture helps them crisp.

2

Season and coat

Place the dried wings in a large bowl. Add 1 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, and 1 tsp neutral oil. Toss thoroughly so each wing is evenly coated. The baking powder helps create a crispy skin when roasted.

3

Arrange for roasting

Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack, skin-side up, with a little space between each wing so hot air circulates.

4

Roast

Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip each wing and roast an additional 10–15 minutes until the skin is deep golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Total cook time will be about 30–35 minutes depending on wing size and oven.

5

Optional broil for extra crisp

If you want extra crispness, switch the oven to broil for 2–4 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. Remove wings from oven and transfer to a clean bowl for saucing.

Buffalo Sauce

6

While the wings roast (or during the final 5 minutes), prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in 4 tablespoons hot sauce, 1 teaspoon honey (if using), 1 teaspoon white vinegar (if using), 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Warm until the sauce is glossy and combined, then remove from heat. Taste and adjust heat/sweetness or salt to preference.

7

Toss wings in sauce: Pour the warm sauce over the roasted wings in the bowl and toss gently until each wing is evenly coated. Serve immediately so the skin remains crisp under the sauce.

To Serve

8

Plate the wings alongside 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing or ranch and the celery sticks. Offer lemon wedges for a squeeze of brightness if desired.

9

Serve hot. Leftover wings can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10–15 minutes to restore crispness.
