Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs (900g) chicken wings, separated into drumettes and wingettes
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (Maizena)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (15ml)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) hot sauce (Frank's RedHot)
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar (15ml)
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  3. Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack (if using). Arrange in a single layer.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Whisk in the hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over them. Toss to coat evenly.
  8. Serve the wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and sides.
