Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon pepper or to taste
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce I used Frank's
- 4 tablespoon butter unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Place them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- While the wings bake, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in buffalo wing sauce until combined.
- Once the wings are done, toss them in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve with blue cheese dressing and enjoy!
Notes
- Patting the wings dry before baking makes a big difference in how crispy they get. Don’t skip that step.
- Bake the wings first, then toss them in sauce. This keeps them crisp instead of soggy.
- Adjust the butter in the sauce to control the heat. More butter means milder, less butter means more kick.
- If you’re reheating leftovers, the air fryer works best. A few minutes brings them right back to crispy.
- I always set a few wings aside before saucing them. It keeps the pups very happy.
