1-HOUR BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE BY TASTY



1-Hour Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe by Tasty image

Think of this as your classic go-to recipe the next time you're in the mood for buffalo chicken wings. But here's the twist-they're baked, not fried. To replicate that deep-fried texture, these wings are tossed with spices and baking powder before they go in the oven. They turn out super crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Be sure to look for aluminum-free baking powder to avoid a metallic taste in your wings.

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 lb chicken wings
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter
½ cup hot sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Canapes

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 12 as a canapé

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp celery salt
4 tbsp pepper sauce (we used Frank's hot sauce)
3 tbsp honey
1 ½kg chicken wings, halved at the joint

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, cider vinegar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, hot sauce, honey and a couple of cracks of black pepper. Add the chicken wings and toss around to make sure they're fully covered in the marinade. If you have time, leave the wings to marinate for a couple of hrs in the fridge or ideally overnight.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Drain and reserve the marinade, then spread the wings out on a very large baking tray. Bake for 30 mins, then pour off the excess oil, add the reserved marinade and toss well. Increase oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Return to the oven and cook for a further 30 mins, tossing a few times to coat in the glaze as they cook. They should be sticky and glazed with most of the marinade evaporated. Serve on a large platter alongside other party snacks.
