Crispy Buffalo Wings Recipe

Homemade Buffalo Wings have a secret ingredient that makes them super crisp and irresistible. The easy buffalo sauce is just 3 ingredients and makes these taste like a restaurant-quality appetizer.

If you loved our Air Fryer Chicken Wings, you’ll love these Oven-Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings. You can bake a bigger batch all at once which is great for feeding a crowd. Think Super Bowl appetizer.

Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings

The beauty of baked buffalo chicken wings is that you can get the same, crispy texture without the need for splattering hot fryer oil. Using our handy baking powder trick and a wire rack, they get a wonderful crust with a fraction of the fat of deep-fried versions. Tossing the crispy wings together with a buttery, tangy buffalo sauce is irresistibly good.

Ingredients for the Crispiest Buffalo Chicken Wings

  • Chicken wings – Use fresh or thawed frozen wings that are broken down into drumettes and wingettes 
  • Baking powder – The secret ingredient for getting your chicken wings ultra-crispy without the need for deep frying 
  • Salt – we use fine sea salt in nearly all of our cooking
  • Garlic powder – adds a bit of zest to your wings before tossing them in the buffalo sauce 
  • Unsalted butter – adds a nice creaminess to the buffalo sauce 
  • Frank’s Original Red Hot Sauce – This is the perfect base for your wing sauce. It’s tangy, a little sweet, and has just the right amount of spiciness.
  • Sugar – helps the sauce caramelize and thicken on your piping hot wings.

How to Make Crispy Buffalo Wings

  1. Prep Chicken Wings – cut wings in half to separate the drums from the wingettes. Pat the wings dry with a paper towel. Preheat the oven and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack over the pan.
  2. Make dry seasoning – Combine baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. 
  3. Season the wings – Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl and toss them in the dry seasoning until well-coated. Assemble the wings in a single layer over the rack.
  4. Bake in the center of the oven for 50 minutes, flipping halfway.
  5. Make the Buffalo Sauce – In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter, sugar, and hot sauce.
  6. Toss Wings in Sauce – Transfer chicken wings to a bowl, and toss, drizzle with sauce and toss to coat. Serve with your favorite sauce.

Tips for the Best Buffalo Wings

  • Remove moisture – pat dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as you can to ensure they turn out crispy.
  • Use baking powder – The baking powder creates such an incredible crust on the wings. It’s a must! 
  • Bake on a rack – A wire rack allows the wings to circulate and makes them crispy all around. 

How to Serve

  • Restaurant Style – We love to serve buffalo wings as they do at Chilis restaurant alongside some chunky blue cheese dip and celery sticks.
  • Avocado Ranch – this dressing is also an amazing dip for buffalo chicken.
  • Jalapeno Ranch – if you want a spicy kick to your sauce as well, adding jalapeno adds just the right amount of heat.
  • Add fries – you can turn this into lunch by serving with crispy Air Fryer French Fries.

Common Questions

How do you know when chicken wings are done?

The temperature and timing should be adequate, but you can always use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken (at least 165˚F and tastier if 175˚F).

Can you use frozen chicken wings?

You can, but be sure to thaw completely before baking, or they won’t crisp up properly.

How can you make the wings spicier?

Add in a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or black pepper to the dry seasoning for a spicier wing.

Can I make these in the Air Fryer?

You can cook the wings following the time and temperature for our Air Fryer Chicken Wings then toss with buffalo sauce to finish. You will need to cook in 3 batches or cut the recipe down to 1 lb of chicken wings.

    The wings were delicious. However at 16 minutes they were RAW inside. Everyone should check their wings as each air fryer is different.
    Andddd I understand the recipes are free because of the ads but it’s hard to read them or make comments because the page is constantly jumping to a video.

      HI Lori, that is highly unusual for them to be raw inside in any kind of modern air fryer. Is yours a convection or toaster oven? What kind of air fryer do you use?

      Are you sure about the amount of baking powder that you used? It’s very salty and I have messed up before using too much. This recipe was right on and I carefully applied the dry seasonings after drying the wings . Layered each pound then adding only a teaspoon at a time, then hand mixing.

    Made these for dinner tonight and they were great! Perfect amount of crispiness and it was so easy. I did use cornstarch instead of baking powder.

    I will play around with the sauce a little because there was a sweetness to it that I wasn’t crazy for.

    Loved the chicken wings! I have a convection setting on my oven, so I used it on Convect/Roast. They were nice and crispy. I looked at my baking powder (and it did have aluminum on the ingredient list, oops) but I did not taste anything metallic like some reviewers found. I used a bit less of that on the wings before roasting them. Another thing I did was I got them out of the refrigerator about 2 hours before using them, dried them with paper towels and put them back in the refrigerator UNCOVERED. I think it helped to dry them. I used brown sugar in the sauce, but I noticed other recipes used honey, might try that next time. Thanks for a great recipe, you have never disappointed me Natasha!

          These are best fresh so that they keep their crispness. You can reheat these again in the oven to crisp them back up but they may dry out. You may try to spritz them with water before putting them in the oven to help keep them moist.

    I am making this today for the super bowl. Can I also use another flavor of bbq sauce? I wanted to make half of the wings with a honey bbq sauce I bought. I’m hoping it will work. Maybe?

    I don’t have any Frank’s Hot Sauce, but I do have Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce. Are the two close enough to substitute?

      Hi Neva! I think it would still work but they are different. The buffalo sauce is still hot sauce that’s been enhanced with butter and other ingredients so the sauce is much richer and smoother than regular hot sauce.

      you can absolutely use it instead of the recipe sauce. It’s already prepared for the wings.

    How do you know if your baking powder is aluminum free? Mine says it has sodium bicarbonate, cornstarch and monocalcium phosphate. Doesn’t sound like it has aluminum, does it?

      Hi Sandra, It’s easy to avoid the aluminum varieties– simply look for the “aluminum-free” designation on the label.

    Would it be okay to leave the sugar out from the sauce. Seems the sugar would take away the hotness.

      Hi Janet! You can try it but the sugar helps the sauce caramelize and thicken.

    Natasha, your recipes are always a winner! This one is no exception! I followed the recipe exactly as written and these were the best wings I’ve had in my adult life! I grew up in Buffalo, so this is a huge compliment. I used very spicy hot sauce, so I toned it down a bit with more butter ans brown sugar. The wings were so crispy and delicious! It was a huge hit with the family! I can’t wait to make these again!

    I’m not sure if I did anything wrong. I followed the recipe exactly. But it took much longer to get the skin crispy. And also the sauce was somewhat thinner and runnier than what I was expecting it was hard to get a good coating. Any suggestions?

      December 14, 2022

      Hi Robert. Be sure to pat the wings dry with a paper towel to remove any extra moisture prior to tossing them through the baking powder and seasoning. Every oven bakes differently, so you may need to add or subtract based on that. I highly recommend using an internal oven thermometer. Let you oven fully preheat before baking and don’t overcrowd the pan, allow enough room for air to circulate between the wings. I hope that helps.

Used extra garlic because we love it, and 1/4c Frank’s and 1/4c Cholula (that’s all I had) and threw some Newman’s Own Italian in. Not necessary, so I won’t next time. Thank you, Natalya!

    I was really excited to make this but it came out nearly inedible. I’m sure it was my inexperience but my hubby asked me to never make again. We both agreed that we get the baking powder idea but it left a bad taste like uncooked flour in gravy. I try to find positives but the best my hubby could say was that I served celery sticks. I must have done it wrong.

      Hi Heather! I’m really sorry to hear that. I am not sure what happened. I have never had that experience. I only used 1 tbsp of baking powder (aluminum free to avoid an unpleasant taste) for 3lbs of chicken so it really doesn’t impact the flavor that much. I like to pat my chicken dry though, the extra moisture could make it “cake” on thicker in certain spots. You could also try replacing the baking powder with corn starch, many of my readers have done this. If you try this recipe again, I hope you have better results.

        Had the same experience.. My husband hated it. Disappointing since I made them for our Football Game. The recipe called for 2 Tablespoon of Baking Power.. maybe that was the issue, but it really needed more spices and I had to cook longer to brown. Would not use this recipe again.

    I made 5.5 lbs of wings. So I proportionately adjusted the recipe. It was good but the baking powder was a bit too much. Next time I’ll need to adjust this recipe some more until I get it right I guess. I’m a newbie cook so I’m sure my inabilities were a major factor in not achieving a great product. But it was still good. I’m not convinced the ingredients as measures were accurate though?

    Recipe is good – issue is with the smoke that pours out of the oven while baking.

    I have followed another recipe which calls for steaming the wings for 10 minutes then letting the wings dry and chill before continuing.

    Does no one else have a large amount of smoke while baking??

      Hi Tom, be sure you are using a high smoke point oil (not extra virgin olive oil) and also make sure you are baking on conventional oven settings and not convection.

      What is the oil for ? I did not see oil in the recipe , or maybe that is for the air fryer ? I’m going to use the oven

      Hi Bonnie, we have that listed as the first step on the printable recipe card. Preheat the oven to 450˚F. I hope that helps!
