How to Make Sticky Honey Buffalo Wings

While deep frying wings is delicious, these oven baked wings are crispy and delicious and just as good without the mess of the oil. To make perfect buffalo hot wings, you want to make the chicken wings as crispy as possible.

How to Make Baked Buffalo Wings:

1. CLEAN with Lemon and Vinegar

2. DRY: The chicken wings must be super dry before placing them in the oven. You can dry them by squeezing the wings with paper towels, or by placing them on a rack and letting them air-dry for hours. Or both!

3. SEASONING: Inside a zip lock bag, add all of your seasoning plus baking powder. Baking powder (aluminum-free) is the secret ingredient to make the skins turn extra crispy in the oven. Now, add your chicken to the zip lock bag and shake until wings are well coated.

4. BAKE wings at 400F for 50 minutes.
