For the Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. For extra crispiness, place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help them crisp up better in the oven.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure each wing is evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet (or wire rack if using). Bake for 25 minutes, then flip the wings over and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy.
For the Buffalo Sauce:
- While the wings are baking, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir until the sauce is smooth and well-blended.
- Once the wings are baked and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve the wings hot with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks for dipping.
Notes
- Storage Instructions: Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheating Tips: Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes to maintain crispiness.
- Variation Suggestions: For a spicier kick, add extra cayenne pepper or use a hotter brand of hot sauce. For a sweeter version, substitute some hot sauce with honey or BBQ sauce.
- Safety Tips: Be careful when handling hot sauce and melted butter; it can splash or burn.
