Ingredients
Scale
3 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Optional: Blue cheese dressing, celery sticks for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the Frank’s RedHot sauce, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the wings are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven.
In a large bowl, toss the hot wings with the Buffalo sauce until well coated.
Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks, if desired.
Notes
For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce and butter to your preference for spice and richness.
Consider using a wire rack set inside the baking sheet for even better air circulation and crispier skin.
