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

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper.
3. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place the wings in the bowl with the flour mixture and toss to coat evenly.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Return the wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the sauce.
8. Serve the buffalo wings hot with celery sticks and blue cheese dip on the side.
