Delicious Baked Buffalo Wings


My son loves buffalo wings and requested them for his 16th birthday party. This recipe was a hit with everyone who came to his birthday celebration.



Prep time: 1 hour 15 minutes (if you include the time the wings sit in the fridge after dredging)
Cook time: 45 minutes
Serves 2 people as main dish or 4 if an appetizer

Ingredients

  1. 20 chicken wings, separated at the drumette
  2. 1/2 cup butter, melted
  3. 1/2 cup hot sauce
  4. 3/4 cup flour
  5. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  6. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  7. 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Mix flour, cayenne, garlic and salt in a large zip-lock bag (or a bowl).

  2. Coat wings in flour mixture and place on ungreased cookie sheet. I’d recommend lining the pan with foil for easier cleanup.

  3. Place in refrigerator to cool and firm up the coating for an hour or so.

  4. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  5. Mix melted butter and hot sauce in a bowl.

  6. Gently coat wings in sauce mixture and place back on cookie sheet in single uncrowded layer.

  7. Bake for 45 minutes turning half way.

  8. Serve dressing to dip. Our family prefers to use ranch dressing to dip, but of course many (if not most) folks use blue cheese dressing.
