Buffalo Chicken Wings

5 from 1 vote
This recipe is what I and my family likes. You can adjust the flavor to your liking. I like 50/50 Franks Red Hot wing sauce and Franks red hot Chile and Lime sauce. This Gives nice flavor and heat. But if you don't like the ratio, change it.

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lbs Chicken wings if they now precut, cut them in to flat and drumette
  • 1 tbsp Aluminum free baking powder
  • ½ tsp Salt Note: if not using any sauce for glazing then adjust saltiness to your taste
  • 2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
Buffalo Sauce
  • ¼ cup Franks red hot wing sauce
  • ¼ cup Franks red hot Chile and Lime sauce
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1-2 tbsp Honey, white sugar, brown sugar or your favorite sweetener adjust sweetness to your liking

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls small and large
  • Mixing spoon
  • Kitchen tongs
  • Baking sheet with rack (rack is optional you just won't get crispy wing al the way around)
  • Oven thermometer (optional)
  • Parchment paper or foil if not using cookie rack (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 450º. I use internal temperature thermometer, I don't trust original settings.
  2. In a small bowl combine all the dry ingredients, salt, pepper, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder and baking powder. Mix it through until well combined.
  3. Pat dry wings and if you have to trim the tip, do so at this point
  4. Put all wings in to large mixing bowl
  5. Add Olive oil and mix it through. Oil is needed so rub stick to the wings
  6. Add rub to wings and mix it until every wing is coated with rub
  7. Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper if not using cookie rack
  8. Lay wings skin down first on to baking sheet
  9. And bake for 30 minutes
  10. After 30 minutes flip wings and cook for 20-30 minutes
  11. If bone comes out clean then wings are cooked through
  12. In saucepan melt butter and add hot sauce and honey or sugar. Get it hot mixing so sugar won't bunt, but don't boil
  13. Return wing to clean bowl and add sauce and mix it through until every wing is coated
  14. At this time you are done and enjoy your delicious Buffalo Wings. But you can go one step further
  15. Return wings skin up to clean baking sheet and broil them for 3-5 minutes so the sauce can thicken up and get sticky
  16. Return wings back to the bowl and give them another coat with Franks Red Hot
  17. Plate and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce and celery. CEERS
