Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Celery sticks, for serving
- Blue cheese dip, for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place the wings in the bowl with the flour mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the coated wings in a single layer. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is well combined and heated through.
- Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
- Return the wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the sauce.
- Serve the buffalo wings hot with celery sticks and blue cheese dip on the side.
