Why Make Baked Buffalo Wings

  • Easy to make: Whether meal prepping or fixing a simple family dinner, the buffalo wings oven-baked formula is easy and hassle-free.
  • Requires a few simple ingredients: You’ll need less than 10 basic ingredients to make these.
  • Tender, crispy, and saucy: These buffalo wings are juicy, tender on the inside, and fried-chicken crispy on the outside.

Ingredients Needed

Oven Fried Wings

  • Chicken Wings: I use thawed chicken wings that are sectioned into flats and drums so that you can evenly coat them with the spice mix.
  • Baking Powder: This is for extra crispy skin. Remember to use baking powder and not baking soda.
  • Smoked Paprika: If you substitute with regular paprika, you’ll miss out on the distinctive flavor.
  • Natural Ancient Sea Salt (optional)
  • Black Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Olive Oil 

Homemade Buffalo Sauce

  • Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce: this is a cayenne pepper based hot sauce. It also includes vinegar and garlic powder.
  • Butter: I’m using unsalted and melted butter
olive oil, spices, black pepper, sea salt, hot wings sauce, chicken wings, melted butter on separate bowls

How To Make Baked Buffalo Wings

  1. Prepare the chicken: As the oven preheats to 425 degrees, remove the chicken wing parts from the fridge and pat them dry. Mix the spices and baking powder in a bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on the wings and toss the wings to coat.
  2. Bake the wings: Place the wings on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet with a cooling rack. Cook the wings in the oven for 25 minutes per side.
  3. Make the Buffalo sauce: Add the Buffalo sauce ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to incorporate. 
  4. Toss the wings in the sauce: Add the crisped wings to a bowl, pour some of the sauce on top and toss to coat.

Top Tips & FAQs

Pat the Wings Dry

Removing as much moisture as possible leads to an even coating and helps to have a crispy wing skin faster.

Use Baking Powder In The Mix

Baking powder (not baking soda) causes the wing skin to heat up faster than the wing meat so that the outer is extra crispy.

Coat The Wings Evenly

Distributing the spice mix evenly on the wings is important for uniform flavor distribution and even crispiness.

Bake to Extra Crispy

Bake the wings for 25 minutes per side to ensure they are still crispy, even with the sauce on top. 

How long do wings stay in the oven?

Generally, 40 minutes would be enough to get the wings crispy at 400 degrees, but it depends on how crispy you want them. I bake mine for 25 minutes per side for extra crispiness.

Should you bake or fry Buffalo wings?

Deep frying is popular for tasty and crunchy buffalo wings, but it’s not the best if you’re trying to cut calories or don’t want to handle greasy pans. Baking delivers delicious, crunchy, and healthier wings without the mess.
