OVEN BAKED BUFFALO WINGS



Oven Baked Buffalo Wings image

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.

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Yield 32 wings, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 lbs chicken wings
2 tablespoons cooking oil
soul seasoning (I use "All Island Soul Seasoning") (optional)
2 teaspoons hot sauce (or more)
3 tablespoons butter

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.

Categories     Chicken Wings     Party Food

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 lb / 2kg chicken wings, wingettes & drumettes ((Note 1))
5 teaspoons baking powder ((NOT baking soda / bi-carb soda) (Note 2))
3/4 teaspoons salt
4 tbsp (60g) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce ((Note 3))
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, softened ((I use gorgonzola))
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 clove small garlic, minced
1 - 3 tbsp milk
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
Black pepper
Celery sticks
Lots of beer!

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



Baked Buffalo Wings image

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.

BAKED BUFFALO WINGS



Baked Buffalo Wings image

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.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
1 to 3 tablespoons milk or buttermilk, or to taste
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 pounds chicken wings, or any combination of drumettes, wingettes and tips
1 tablespoon baking powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce, such as Frank's
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 teaspoons)

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.

BAKED BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

Sticky spiced wings make great finger food or canapés, and this version skips the deep-fried stage so they're healthier

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.
