This video will demonstrate how to make a Buffalo style chicken wings in the oven. These wings will be just as golden and crispy as they would be if they were deep-fried, except we will cook them in the oven.
3lb. chicken wings
½tsp. baking soda
4tsp. salt
½tsp. cayenne (optional)
½cup hot sauce
3Tbsp. butter
1. Mix baking soda with salt, and if you enjoy a little extra heat, the cayenne pepper. If you have a spice grinder, you can grind into a fine powder.
2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels and add with salt mixture in a bowl Toss with your hands until evenly coated.
3. Place in the fridge for 3-4 hours to allow the salt to fully penetrate the wings.
4. Place a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 250°F.
5. Line a baking sheet with a double layer of foil, then set a wire rack over foil.
6. Arrange wings on prepared rack, spacing evenly apart.
7. Bake wings 30 minutes.
8. Increase the temperature to 450°F and continue to bake for about another 25–30 minutes. The wings should be golden brown and look like they have been deep fried.
9. Melt the butter and add the hot sauce. Transfer wings to a large bowl, pour sauce over, and toss until evenly coated.
10. Serve and enjoy.
