Why You’ll Love These Oven-Baked Buffalo Wings

There’s something undeniably satisfying about biting into a perfectly seasoned buffalo wing. But what if I told you that you could achieve that same delicious flavor without the mess and hassle of deep frying? That’s right – these wings are baked, not fried, which means they’re not only easier to make but also a bit lighter without sacrificing any of the flavor.

The secret to getting that perfect texture in the oven is a combination of simple techniques and ingredients. First, I use whole wings that I separate myself, ensuring each piece is just the right size for baking. Then, I coat the wings in a blend of flavorful powdered seasonings like smoked paprika, all-purpose Maggi seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper. A little cornstarch helps to create that golden brown skin we all love, while Worcestershire sauce and whole grain mustard add depth and tanginess to the mix.

And of course, no buffalo wings would be complete without that classic buffalo sauce. For this recipe, I keep it simple and classic – just melted butter and Frank’s Red Hot. The result is a mouthwatering, spicy, and tangy wing that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Simple and Straightforward: The Perfect Recipe for Any Occasion

One of the best things about these oven-baked buffalo wings is how simple and straightforward they are to make. With just a few basic ingredients and minimal prep time, you can have a batch of flavorful wings ready to go in no time. This makes them perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a party, watching the big game, or just craving something delicious.

Plus, baking the wings means less mess and cleanup than frying, which is always a bonus. And because they’re baked, you can feel a little better about indulging in these spicy, savory wings. Serve them with a side of celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for the ultimate buffalo wing experience.

Notes

Pro tip: if you prefer really crispy wings, like crunch as you bite, then keep the wings as dry as possible and don't add any seasoning other than the salt and cornstarch prior to baking. Once the wings are baked and crip then add the other seasonings as desired. A crisp wing starts with a dry wing! But the way I wrote the recipe gives the most flavor, not necessarily the most crunch
