There’s no debate: Buffalo wings are the game day snack. In my book, a Super Bowl spread just isn’t complete without a plate (or two) of chicken wings ready to be devoured, and these Buffalo wings are the most classic version of the party staple. To skip the mess (and time commitment) that comes from making fried wings, I turn to these baked wings instead. They’re easy to make, and still result in perfectly crispy, saucy, and caramelized wings I can’t get enough of. Here’s everything you need to know:
What People Are Saying:
"I usually do wings the frying in oil way. Well, let me say these were outstanding! Do not hesitate to make this recipe. You won’t be sorry." - Addie
Preheat the oven to 400°, and put a wire rack over a baking sheet. Add your chicken wings to a large bowl, then toss with oil before seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Once your chicken wings are tossed and coated well, transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for around 50-60 minutes (flipping halfway through), or until the skin is golden and crispy.
Now, while the chicken wings are cooking, let’s get started on the best part: the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together the hot sauce and honey.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add in the butter. Cook until the butter is melted and slightly reduced, which should take around 2 minutes.
Once your wings are done, remove from the oven, and heat the broiler on low. Transfer the baked wings to a bowl, pour in the Buffalo sauce, and toss well. I’m serious, make sure these wings are fully coated.
Return the wings to the rack and broil until the sauce caramelizes, around 3 minutes. Watch carefully here—they can easily burn!
Once they're done to your liking, serve alongside your favorite dipping sauces and some fresh veggies (carrots and celery are a must, IMO).
Full list of ingredients & instructions can be found in the recipe below.
Buffalo + blue cheese is a classic combo, but if you’re more in the ranch dressing camp, (like me) you can go for that too (sorry blue cheese purists). Pair with some cut veggies, homemade French fries, or sour cream and onion dip to complete your spread.
You can cook and refrigerate the wings (without the sauce) up to 3 days ahead of time. When ready to re-crisp, place them on a rack set in a baking sheet, and cook them in a 400° oven for about 10-15 minutes, then sauce them and proceed with the final recipe step.
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. When ready to enjoy, pop them in the air fryer or oven to crisp them back up.
