Ingredients
Chicken wings: 24 wings (about 3 pounds or 1.36 kilograms)
Baking powder: 2 tablespoons (28 grams)
- Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon (3.1 grams)
- Salt: 1 teaspoon (5 grams)
- Butter, unsalted: 1/2 cup (113 grams)
- Hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot): 1/2 cup (120 ml)
- Apple cider vinegar: 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
Method of Preparation
- Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry. Mix baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Toss the wings in this mixture.
- Bake for Crispiness: Arrange the wings on a baking rack in a baking sheet. Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 30 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake for another 10-15 minutes until crispy.
- Make Buffalo Sauce: While the wings bake, melt butter in a saucepan. Add hot sauce and apple cider vinegar. Simmer for a few minutes.
- Toss and Serve: Once the wings are crispy, toss them in the buffalo sauce. Serve immediately.
Tips for Culinary Success
- Dry Wings: Make sure the wings are thoroughly dried before seasoning for maximum crispiness.
- Baking Powder Magic: Baking powder helps make the skin extra crispy, a key for great buffalo wings.
- Control the Heat: Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your spice preference.
