Of COURSE serving them in this Blue Cheese Dressing (or Ranch dressing), these wings were not only a hit at the Entice Media crew table, they were ordered again the next day! Just when I thought this little experiment wouldn’t be well received!

Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wings

How make wings crispy in the oven

The magic ingredient is aluminium free baking powder. You’re going to pimp yours up with added flavours:

  • Garlic powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • You an also add a dash of Cayenne pepper.

Toss them until they are coated evenly.

How do you cook chicken wings in the oven

Place aluminium foil on your baking sheet to catch any drippings, then arrange a wire rack over the top. Place your wings in an even layer to allow the heat to be evenly distributed.

Once they’re baked and crispy, toss in buffalo sauce!

Ingredients
CHICKEN WINGS
  • 2 Kg (4 pounds) chicken wings cut into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tablespoon aluminium free baking powder (NOT baking soda)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • Pinch of cracked pepper
BUFFALO SAUCE:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar, brown sugar or honey (optional — and even better!)
BLUE CHEESE DIP:
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of cracked black pepper
TO SERVE:
  • Ranch dressing
  • Blue cheese dressing (RECIPE AS ABOVE) for serving
  • Celery sticks for serving
Instructions
  1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminium foil and set a heat-proof wire rack inside. 

  2. Pat dry chicken wings liberally with paper towels, squeezing out as much moisture as you can. Transfer them to a large bowl.

  3. In a small bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper together, whisking well to combine, and sprinkle the mixture over the wings. Toss wings through the baking powder mixture until evenly coated. 

  4. Arrange on rack, leaving about 1-inch of space between each wing.

  5. Bake for 30 minutes; flip and continue to cook until crisp and golden brown, (about 20-30 minutes longer), until golden browned and crispy.

  6. While wings are cooking, whisk together hot sauce, butter and sugar. Toss wings through the sauce to evenly coat.

  7. Serve wings immediately with blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing, and celery sticks.

Recipe Notes

For crispier wings, follow steps 1-4. Then refrigerate wings uncovered overnight. This ensures they are thoroughly dried out.

I tried both methods, and only noticed a slightly crispier texture in the refrigerated wings!

*I originally saw these beautiful wings on Serious Eats!*

    I made these a few days ago and I’m still amazed how well they turned out. I did not change the recipe at all and they came out with a wonderful crispy exterior and a nice juicy inside. An hour seemed a bit of a long time to bake (30 minutes on each side) but they turned out perfect. I would definitely recommend flipping them over half way! I’ll be making these again soon.

    That is great to hear! I am so glad that you enjoyed it! The blue cheese dip is just as delicious if you like blue cheese. Thanks for sharing!

    My husband loves wings and has been trying different recipes. He says this one is a keeper! Be sure to dry off the wings as much as possible before tossing them in the baking powder mixture. We used regular baking powder (had aluminum in it) and it was just fine. Baked them in a rack, on top of a cookie sheet. I don’t eat anything even remotely spicy so I didn’t even taste them but he was very happy! 🙂

    Yes, of course! You are always welcome to make your own recipe from mine! Hope that helps! Enjoy!

    I made these for Super Bowl 2018. The Super Bowl when the Eagles deflated the Tom Brady and the Patriots. Theses wings were great! So crispy with out frying. I would suggest spraying the cookie rack with non stick cooking oil. Makes for easier clean up and wings don’t stick when turning over. I did use Tapatio for the hot sauce. Made the blue cheese but will use Ranch dressing next time, just my preference. Thanks for the great recipe, my go to, no more searching.

    Made this tonight. Put 1 /2 tsp honey into the sauce. The wings were crispy and tasted wonderful. Next time I will decrease the garlic powder in the coating by 1/2 tsp. because of personal taste. This is a winner recipe!!!!

    There is not any flour in this recipe. It is baking powder. Hope that helps!

    I made these tonight, and my husband said, “I don’t remember ever enjoying wings this much.” AND he LOVES wings! The thing is, we live in Nepal and can’t get them at any restaurants. I was so happy to make these. I had tried the BWW copy cat recipe but wasn’t thrilled. Tons of work just to feel guilty and have a smelly house. We were all doing a happy dance, and SUPER PICKY 5 year old daughter asked me to make them for her birthday! All around a win. Thank you so much! Love this site.

    Made these tonight and they were great. I will be making these again. Thank you for the recipe.

    Do these wings really bake for almost an hour? Seems like an awfully long time.
    The Thai wings only bake for about 25 min. total.

    Made these tonight and WOW! Amazing. Best wings I have ever had. Used Wing Time sauce. Thank you!!!

    Very nice recipe from Serious Eats, I’ve tried it. If you want your wings really crispy, like deep-fried, you’ve got to use convection mode. Another thing, if you put the sauce on them a few minutes before the wings are done and then continue with convection , they start tasting like grilled. Really cool how small things have big impact final results.
