The Best Oven-Fried Buffalo Wings
Ingredients
- Chicken wing1–4 lb + 1 tsp + 2 tbsp + 2 tbsp
- Baking powder1 tsp
- Blue cheese · for serving
- Celery · for serving
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top. Pat the wings dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder and salt until evenly coated, then arrange them on the rack with a little space between each one. Repeat with the remaining batches.
- Refrigerate uncovered for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Heat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with the rack in the upper-middle position. Bake the wings for 20 minutes, flip them, then cook 15 to 30 more minutes until crisp and golden brown, flipping a few more times near the end.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter with the hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking until combined.
- Toss the hot wings in the sauce in a large bowl until fully coated. Serve right away with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
