Who doesn’t love Buffalo Wings? My husband and I are in love with this dish. Golden and crispy chicken wings with buffalo sauce… Oh, a perfect match! In case you don’t know, buffalo sauce is simply a mixture of melted butter and hot sauce. In this recipe, I use sriracha, but of course, you can use any brand you prefer. Add more hot sauce if you are more on that very hot and spicy type.

Lately, I barely fry chicken. I prefer baking them because it is less messy, easier, and it is not time-consuming. All you need to do is just bake, set the time and leave. Unlike when frying, you have to watch the chicken constantly or they will end up burned. We definitely don’t like that. You would think that it would end up soggy, but it is actually not. The key to perfect crispiness is putting the chicken wings on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. This ensures that the skin is crispy and resembles fried chicken. There’s a scientific explanation about it. The wire rack on top of the baking sheet allows air to circulate underneath the chicken wings. Thus, the chicken wings will cook evenly.

How to Make Buffalo Wings?

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Toss chicken wings with oil and season with garlic powder, salt and pepper into a large bowl. Let it stand for about 10-15 minutes. Transfer to prepared baking sheet with a wire rack. Bake the chicken until golden and crispy, about 50-60 minutes. Flip the wings halfway through. Whisk together hot sauce and honey in a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Bring to simmer then stir in butter. Cook the sauce until butter is melted and the sauce is slightly reduced about 2-3 minutes. Heat broiler on low. Transfer baked wings to a bowl and toss with buffalo sauce until the chicken are fully coated. Return chicken wings to the baking sheet and broil. Watch it carefully. Cook until the sauce caramelizes, about 3 minutes. Best serve with vegetable sticks and ranch dressing.
