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

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
  5. 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.
  6. Stir in the Frank’s RedHot sauce, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Once the wings are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven.
  8. In a large bowl, toss the hot wings with the Buffalo sauce until well coated.
  9. 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.
