Super crispy BAKED buffalo wings with buffalo wings and blue cheese dip go together perfectly. Just a few tips are needed to make baked buffalo wings super crispy and without chicken smell. So you can enjoy them in a short time without baking for a long time. They're just as crispy as deep-fried, and you'll never deep-fry them again.

Ingredients

CRISPY BAKED WINGS:

  • 2lb / 1kg chicken wings, wingettes & drumettes
  • 2.5 teaspoons baking powder,  (NOT baking soda) (Note 1)
  • 1/2  teaspoons salt

BUFFALO SAUCE:

  • 1/2 cup Frank’s Original Red Hot Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon jam, any fruit jam you have (Note 2)

BLUE CHEESE DIP:

  • 60 g crumbled blue cheese, softened
  • 100 ml Greek yogurt, (Note 3)
  • 60 ml mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoon milk

Instructions

CRISPY BAKED WINGS

  • Boiled wings - Wash the wings, put them in the pot and add cold water to bring them to a boil. Take the wingettes out of the pot and let the drumettes boil for 1 minute more. (Note 4) Rinse in cold water and drain the water.
  • Dry - Pour off the water and dry the chicken wings with paper towels. (Note 5)
    Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C.
  • Toss wings - Put the chicken wings in a large container, add baking powder, and salt, and mix well.
  • Line the tray with foil. Put a rack on the tray then spray the rack with oil.
  • Bake for 15 minutes at a high temp -place the wings skin side up on the rack. Put the drumettes on the innermost side of the oven. (Note 6)
    Bake them in the oven at 425°F / 220°C for 15 minutes.
  • Toss in sauce – Place the wings in the container and pour the buffalo sauce over them and mix well.
  • Serve with Blue Cheese Dip (for both wings and celery sticks dunking)!

BUFFALO SAUCE

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.
