Steps:
- If you plan ahead, lay the wings on a rack on a rimmed baking tray and let them dry uncovered in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, pat them dry with paper towels.
- Preheat the oven to 250°F/120°C (all oven types). Put one oven shelf in the lower quarter of the oven and one in the top quarter.
- Line the tray with foil. Spray the rack on the baking tray with oil.
- Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle over baking powder and salt. Use hands to toss well (or shake in ziplock bag) to coat wings evenly.
- Place the wings skin side up on the rack (ok if snug, they shrink). Bake on the lower shelf in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Then move the tray up to the higher shelf and turn the oven up to 425°F / 220°C. Bake for a further 40 to 50 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. The wings do not need to be turned over.
- The wings are ready when they are dark golden brown and the skin is very crispy.
- Toss with Hot Sauce and serve immediately with Blue Cheese Dip and celery sticks. They can be served plain, with a dipping sauce or tossed in sauce. Wings also reheat crispy!
- Whisk together the Sauce ingredients. Keep warm or reheat just prior to using.
- Mash the blue cheese with sour cream until smooth (or to your taste).
- Add remaining ingredients and mix well until combined, using milk to get it to the consistency you want.
- Store in the fridge until required. Remove from the fridge 15 minutes before serving.

BAKED BUFFALO WINGS
These easy to make hot wings are crispy without being fried. Always yummy to snack on. They only take 10 minutes for prep, but need to be refrigerated for about an hour so the flour coating is firm. You can add more cayenne or use a higher hot sauce to butter ratio if you like them spicier! Enjoy.

EASY BAKED BUFFALO WINGS
Crispy, hot wings without the hassle of deep-frying or the lengthy marinating process. Though I live a mere hour's drive north of the city from which buffalo wings originated, I can't find a place that makes decent wings! This recipe is a combination of a wing recipe from Better Homes and Gardens cookbook and the sauce we always used at home. I don't claim credit for it by any means, but I think it should be posted, because it's awesome!

Steps:
- Cut off wing tips; discard. Separate wings at joint.
- Place wings in a single layer on a wire rack inside a shallow pan (to catch grease). (You can use a broiler pan, but the super thin bars of the wire rack keep the meat from sticking).
- Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Use the stove fan if you have one; the grease from the meat makes a lot of smoke.
- Turn. Broil another 10 to 15 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.
- Meanwhile, microwave butter in large, microwave-safe bowl.
- Add hot sauce.
- Add wings to bowl and cover. Shake until wings are well coated.
- Serve hot with celery ribs, carrot sticks, and blue cheese dressing, if desired.
EASY BAKED BUFFALO WINGS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line two sheet pans with foil and place the racks on top of the foil. If desired, spray the racks with a bit of cooking oil to keep the wings from sticking.
- Combine all the wing spices in a bowl.
- Pat the chicken wings dry and sprinkle the spice mixture all over the wings and toss to coat completely with spices. Arrange the wings on the racks and transfer to the oven for 45-55 minutes, flipping once midway through cooking.
- Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a saucepan and place over medium heat until melted, stirring to incorporate all the ingredients. Transfer to a large bowl, reserving 1/3 cup of the sauce for serving.
- Once the wings have finished baking, transfer them to the bowl of hot sauce and toss to combine. Turn the broiler on. Return the sauced wings to the racks and transfer to the broiler for 3-4 minutes or until the wings crisp up around the edges and begin to char slightly.
- Transfer the wings to a serving platter and pour the reserved sauce on top. Enjoy!

BAKED BUFFALO WINGS
For chicken wings that come out of the oven as crisp and tender as their fried counterparts, coat the wings in salt and baking powder. The combination promotes even browning, crackly-crisp skin and moist, tender meat. (Do this for roast chicken, too!) Then, cook them directly under the high heat of the broiler, which renders fat and fuses the spicy buttery sauce to each wing. You can buy any combination of meaty drumettes, wingettes (flats) or wing tips, or buy whole wings and break them down yourself, cutting at the joints to separate each wing into three pieces. Looking for a vegetarian version - or simply to add some vegetables to your spread? Try these Buffalo crudités.

Steps:
- Make the blue cheese dip: In a small bowl, stir together blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream and lemon juice. Thin with milk until spoonable. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. (Dip keeps for up to 4 days in the refrigerator; thin as needed with more milk.)
- Place an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the broiler. Heat the broiler.
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the wings dry. If the wings are not yet broken down into three pieces, cut each wing at the two joints. To do so, flip the wing over and wiggle each part to find the joint. Cut at the joint hinge to separate the meaty drumette from the wingette (also known as the flat) and the wingette from the smaller wing tip.
- In a large bowl, toss the baking powder with 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Add the wings and toss until evenly coated. Spread the wings in an even layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. (To prepare them in advance and allow them to dry-brine, let the wings sit out at room temperature for up to 1 hour after coating, or in the refrigerator overnight. Let them come to room temperature before proceeding.)
- Broil the wings in the oven until golden and crisp all over, turning halfway through, about 15 minutes per side.
- As wings cook, make the buffalo sauce: In a large bowl, stir together the hot sauce, butter, lemon juice and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the wings to the hot sauce-mixture and toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon, return the wings to the baking sheet, leaving extra sauce behind. Broil until sizzling and browned in spots, about 5 minutes. (Depending on your broiler, you may need to rotate the pan so all the food is exposed to the heat source.)
- Serve with extra buffalo sauce and the blue cheese dip.

OVEN BAKED BUFFALO WINGS
This is an extremely simple oven baked chicken wing "recipe". It's roots came out of me being tired of paying premium prices for those frozen cooked Buffalo Wings in the grocery store! I hesitate to even call it a recipe, since it is so simple. Not fancy, but super simple on time and ingredients.. and still satisfying.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Prepare chicken wings by using poultry shears and sniping off the wing tips (discard, or freeze for other use, like stock), and snip at remaining wing joint. This gives you "2" wings per wing.
- Spread oil on baking sheet.
- Spread wings in single layer on baking sheet.
- You may choose to slide wings around on the oiled sheet, to put a light coating of oil on the wings. Less oil on wings makes for slightly less crispness.a bit of oil helps seasoning stick. You could omit oil, and spray with a good quality non-stick olive oil product.
- This step is optional. Sprinkle as liberally as you dare with your choice of seasoning. This is where experimentation comes in, be daring, try what's in your spice cabinet, however I've come to like a common "All Island Soul Seasoning", with a touch of cayanne or ground red or white pepper. If you're cutting back on salt, be cautious of prepared seasoning, as they have a lot of sodium.
- Bake until browned, cooked through, and a bit crispy. About 40 minutes. Use your nose and eyes to check! I use my convection setting on my oven too, which cuts on the cooking time, but makes a nice crisp even coating.
- Remove from oven, and cool for about 15 minutes.
- Melt butter and mix with hot sauce. (again. amount of hot sauce to your taste).
- Toss with the wings in a serving bowl with the butter/hot sauce mixture.
- Serve with your favorite Blue Cheese Dressing and celery sticks.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray. Place the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt into a resealable plastic bag and shake to mix. Make sure your chicken wings are completely dry (I dried mine off with a paper towel) and add the chicken wings to the bag. Seal the bag and toss until well coated with the flour mixture.
- Place the wings onto the prepared baking sheet and place into the refrigerator. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (this will make your wings not "soggy". If I am in a hurry, I will stick them in the freezer for about 20 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Whisk together the melted butter and hot sauce in a small bowl. Dip the wings into the butter mixture, and place back on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and crispy on the outside, about 45 minutes. Turn the wings over halfway during cooking so they cook evenly.
- Serve with your favorite dips (we love ranch dressing) or eat plain- they are delicious either way!

Tips:
- Use Fresh Wings: Fresh wings are more flavorful and tender than frozen wings.
- Dry the Wings Thoroughly: This will help the wings crisp up in the oven.
- Use a Good Quality Buffalo Sauce: The buffalo sauce is the key to great tasting wings. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and has a good amount of heat.
- Don't Overcook the Wings: Overcooked wings will be tough and dry. Cook the wings just until they are cooked through.
- Serve the Wings with Your Favorite Dipping Sauce: Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and celery sticks are all popular dipping sauces for buffalo wings.
Conclusion:
Baked buffalo wings are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or game day.
