Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs (900g) Chicken Wings, separated at the joints and tips removed (about 16-20 wings)
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Salt
  • ½ tsp (2.5ml) Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Olive Oil (optional, for extra crispiness when baking)
  • ½ cup (115g) Unsalted Butter
  • ½ cup (120ml) Hot Sauce (such as Frank's RedHot or Crystal)
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) White Vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ tsp (2.5ml) Garlic Powder
  • ¼ tsp (1.25ml) Cayenne Pepper (optional, for extra heat)
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Wings: Pat wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil (if using).
  2. Cook the Wings: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, or fry in a deep fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes.
  3. Make the Buffalo Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Sauce the Wings: Place cooked wings in a large bowl. Pour the Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the wings hot with your favourite dipping sauces and sides.
