These Oven Baked Buffalo Wings are a quick and healthy way to get the wings ready for your game day party but sacrifice nothing in taste. Baked American chicken wings are a crowd-pleaser, perfect for game days, parties, or a casual meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 Tablespoons Oil, as needed
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
- 2 Tablespoons Buffalo sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Place 1 Tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- Pat the chicken wings dry and add in batches to the skillet.
- Pan sear the chicken wings on each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. You're not cooking the wings in the skillet, just searing them.
- Remove the chicken wings to the prepared cookie sheet.
- Repeat in batches until all chicken wings are cooked.
- Bake chicken wings for 15-20 minutes, until an inserted meat thermometer reads 165F.
- In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and buffalo sauce, adjusting the measurements to taste.
- Place the chicken wings in a bowl and pour in the butter-buffalo sauce.
- Toss the chicken wings until fully coated. Serve warm.
Christina's Notes
- Pat the wings dry: This helps the skin get crispy.
- Warm the sauce: Warm sauces tend to adhere to the wings better.
- Don't over-sauce: Use just enough sauce to coat the wings evenly. You can always add more if needed.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when making the wings: This can lead to soggy wings.
- Flip the wings halfway through cooking: For even cooking of this great recipe.
- Let the wings rest: This allows the juices to redistribute. Place wings on a rack. This will make the best buffalo wings.
