What you need for Crispy Baked Buffalo Wings
1. THE CRISPY BAKED WINGS
- It’s best to use wingettes and drumettes, not whole chicken wings. That way they’re cooked through and through and have a crispy skin. They’re also easier to wrap in buffalo sauce.
- Use aluminum-free baking powder, not baking soda. These are two different things. Scientific tests have shown that baking powder can make wings crispier when baked.
- Salt to enhance the flavor.
2. BUFFALO SAUCE
- If you can’t find Frank’s Original Red Hot Sauce, you can use other hot sauces. For example Sriracha or Tabasco.
- The addition of jam highlights the different layers of buffalo sauce. So it’s not only salty and spicy – this is the secret recipe of the restaurant.
3. BLUE CHEESE DIP
I prefer to use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It’s fresher, healthier, and has fewer calories than sour cream.
Don’t forget to prepare some fresh celery. It goes best with blue cheese dip and spicy buffalo wings.

Tips & Notes:
1. Baking powder – According to scientific tests, baking powder can crisp wings during baking. Use aluminum-free baking powder the taste is neutral. You must be careful to use baking soda and not baking powder because they’re two different things.
2. Jam – This is the secret recipe of the restaurant. Adding jam highlights the different layers of the buffalo sauce. So it’s not just salty and spicy.
3. Greek yogurt – If you don’t have Greek yogurt, you can use sour cream. I use Greek yogurt because it’s healthier and lower in calories than sour cream.
4. Boiled the wings- before baking is a quick and time-saving method. It shortens the baking time and ensures that the wings are cooked all the way through.
Cook the drumettes 1 minute longer because they’re thicker than the wingettes. 5. Dry – If you want them to be crispy, you’ll need to dry them. The most important tip is to dry them before baking. 6. The skin of the wings provides oil that can crisp the wings. Therefore, the skin should be placed in the oven with the top side facing up. The drumettes are thicker and aren’t cooked as easily. Therefore, they should be placed on the innermost side of the oven.
