Classic Buffalo Wings Recipe

Ingredients:

• 12 chicken wings (whole, tips removed, split at the joint)

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

• 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot or your preferred brand)

• 1 tbsp white vinegar

• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

• Salt and pepper (to taste)

• Optional: 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (for extra heat)

For Dipping Sauce:

• 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing

• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions:

Prep the Wings:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. This helps them crisp up during cooking.

• Season the wings with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook the Wings:

• Arrange the chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through. The wings should be golden and crispy.

Prepare the Sauce:

• While the wings are baking, make the Buffalo sauce by combining melted butter, hot sauce, white vinegar, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a bowl. Stir to combine.

Coat the Wings:

• Once the wings are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl.

• Pour the Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.

Serve:

• Serve the wings hot with a side of dipping sauce (ranch or blue cheese) and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Enjoy your homemade Buffalo wings.
