Ingredients
Method
Preparing the Wings
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and place a wire cooling rack on top.
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispy skin.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they don't touch each other.
Baking and Finishing
- Bake for 20 minutes, then flip each wing and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings bake, make the buffalo sauce by whisking together hot sauce, melted margarine, vinegar, garlic powder, and cayenne in a large bowl.
- Remove wings from oven and immediately toss them in the buffalo sauce while they're still hot.
- Serve immediately with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Wings can be prepped up to 4 hours ahead and kept in the refrigerator before baking. For extra crispy results, let the seasoned wings sit uncovered in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. Leftover wings keep for 3 days refrigerated and can be reheated in a 400°F oven for 5-8 minutes.
