Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 1½ pounds chicken wingettes or split wings 15 - 20 wings
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Buffalo Sauce
- ½ cup Frank's Red Hot Original Sauce
- 3 tablespoons ghee, butter, or vegan butter melted
- ¼ teaspoon garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar Can use rice vinegar.
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Pat chicken wings dry with a paper towel. This is an important step to achieving crispy wings so don't skip it!
- Toss chicken in a large ziplock bag or sealed container with salt, chili powder, and garlic powder. Shake so each wing is fully covered with the seasonings.
- Place wings on a wire rack over an aluminum foil lined baking sheet so that the sides of the chicken don't touch. Bake for 30 minutes. Flip wings. Bake for 20 additional minutes. Remove from oven when done.
- While chicken is baking, add all Buffalo Sauce ingredients to a small pot on the stovetop. Stir on medium-low heat for a few minutes until sauce is warmed. (If you prefer not to cook your sauce you can just shake the ingredients together in a sealed jar or other container.)
- Toss the baked chicken wings in your finished Buffalo Sauce to evenly coat.
