Ingredients

  • 2 lbs or about 20-25 party wings flats & drums
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • cup melted unsalted butter
  • cup hot sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
  • Make sure that your wings are dry. Thoroughly pat each wing with a paper towel or if you have time, chill in the refrigerator for a while. This is a very important step in making sure you get that delicious crispy skin!
  • Lightly season the raw wings with salt. The buffalo sauce is very salty so just a little bit goes a long way. Drop the wings into the seasoned flour bowl and toss with tongs, making sure each wing is thoroughly coated. Place wings on a plate in a single layer and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flour coating to harden and ensure that you get that delectable crisp!
  • In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter and hot sauce. Transfer 1-2 tablespoons of the sauce to a different bowl - we're going to use this after the wings come out of the oven.
  • After the wings have chilled in the fridge, dip each wing into the buffalo sauce and place on lined baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for about 45-60 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking. Brush wings with remaining sauce or serve on the side and enjoy!
