How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wings

Step 1:

Pat the chicken wings dry, then cut them into 3 parts: tip, wingette, and drumette. Place all the tips in a ziplock bag and save them for later. Add all wingettes and drumettes in a bowl, then season with salt. Toss well.

Step 2:

Get a large bowl and add the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything.

Step 3:

Preheat your oven to 425F. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil up to the edges and place a wire rack on top. Spray the wire rack with non-stick spray.

Step 4:

Add the flour mixture to the seasoned wings and toss to coat. Place the coated chicken wings on the rack on a single layer on the prepared pan. Place inside the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Take from the oven and flip each one. Bake for another 15 minutes.

Step 5:

Make the sauce. Place a pan over heat, and melt the butter. Once melted, add all the other ingredients. Mix well with a whisk. Taste it as you go and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 6:

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken wings and toss to coat.

Step 7:

Serve with sour cream dipping sauce. Enjoy!
