Crispy and flavorful Baked Buffalo Wings made healthier by baking instead of frying. These wings are coated with a light flour and baking powder mixture for extra crispiness, seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then generously tossed in tangy buffalo sauce. A perfect appetizer or game day snack that’s easy to prepare and broiled to a golden finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips removed

Dry Coating

  • 1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Sauce

  • 1½ cups buffalo sauce (store bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the wings.
  2. Prepare Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a crispy texture.
  3. Coat Wings: In a large bowl, combine the wings with all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure an even coating.
  4. Arrange Wings: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a piece of parchment paper over the foil. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the parchment paper.
  5. Optional Refrigeration: For extra crispiness, refrigerate the coated wings uncovered for 30 minutes if time allows.
  6. Bake Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then carefully flip them over and bake for an additional 15 minutes to cook evenly.
  7. Toss Wings in Sauce: Remove the wings from the oven, pour the buffalo sauce over them on the parchment paper, and mix gently until all wings are coated with sauce.
  8. Broil for Finish: Slide the parchment out from under the wings, turn the oven to broil, and broil the wings until golden and slightly charred, about 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Notes

  • Patting the wings dry before coating is crucial for crispness.
  • Using baking powder, not baking soda, helps create a crisp skin without altering the flavor.
  • Refrigerating the wings before baking dries the skin for an even crispier texture.
  • Broil carefully as wings can burn quickly; keep an eye during this step.
  • Serve immediately with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.
