Description
These crispy baked buffalo chicken wings are so easy to make and so super delicious! Perfect for a party, game day, or main course at dinner. Baked in the oven (made without frying!) until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tossed in a zippy, hot buffalo sauce. So good dipped in creamy ranch dressing! Whole30 compatible, paleo friendly, gluten free, and keto / low carb.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds split chicken wings, often called “party wings”
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce – this is the brand we love, but you could also make a simple buffalo sauce at home or use whatever brand you like!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Pat the wings dry. Using paper towels pat chicken wings as dry as you possibly can. This helps ensure that they will get nice and crispy in the oven.
- Bake until crispy. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add wings to a bowl with avocado oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet to promote even cooking. Transfer to the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and crispy.
- Warm the buffalo sauce. Shortly before wings are done gently warm buffalo sauce in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Set aside.
- Turn up the heat. For extra crispy skin turn the heat up to broil and broil the chicken wings for 2-3 minutes before removing from the oven.
- Toss with buffalo sauce. Remove from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour warm buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
- Serve immediately with celery sticks and a yummy dip like this Dairy Free Ranch.
Notes
If you have leftover wings they will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
To re-heat in the oven or toaster oven: Preheat to 400° F and place wings on a lined baking sheet. Warm until crispy and heated through – about 5-8 minutes.
